[SOLVED] Asus Z97 HD3 VS 4790K

[muhammadahmad9794]

I have bought 4790K and was looking for Asus Maximus Hero 7 but it is not available in my local market instead i found Z97 HD3 (not bought yet). As i don't have any plan to overclock, i will used GTX 1060 or 1070 with it. Now just tell me is this motherboard good for gaming. I will used 16 gb ddr3 1600mhzz or may be 2133mhz as frequency doesn't matter too much in gaming. Also tell me 500W power will be enough and last question water cooling is water or air cooling both in terms of temperatures and noise(recommend the product wit your answer)?

Thanks.

If your 500w is decent it should be enough for the setup. Z97 HD3 can run the 4790k , but for overclocking it's not very good.

I had an HD3, and it will be fine for your use. Sometimes people give answers beyond what we ask, since they l may come up in searches in the future.
