Question Best intel motherboard?

[Hypoltan]

What is the best intel motherboard in the price range of $150-$200? I'm looking to pair it with a i5 9600k and overclocking parts.
Currently considering these four choices:

1. Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO
2. MSI MAG Z390 Tomahawk LGA1151
3. ASUS TUF Z390M-Pro Gaming
4. ASUS Prime Z390-A Motherboard LGA1151

Which one is the best or is there a better option out there?

There is no 'best' as such, they are all decent boards, but each has its own gimmicks. For fans you have 3 choices, bios/mobo/SpeedFan. Out of those, Asus has by far the 'best' customizable fan setting software, a gimmick, but still can be a bonus. The Gigabyte has its RGB software, and Gigabyte gpus are very good performers, the software will control the gpus too. Asus has the most user friendly bios, Gigabyte is trying, but MSI has the most technical, especially for OC.

What the choice usually boils down too is which fits your budget and color scheme the best.

i would get the gygabyte , since it has the auros trademark , asus and msi are good too but their top trademarks would be rog strix and gaming m9 respectively

look for reviews for each motherboard , and see the maximum overclocking results on each and choose the best.

Get the one with lower temps and better OC results.

Excellent idea.
