Can someone tell me the best motherboard for 1150 socket?

[Ragnarous]

I want to know the best motherboard for 1150 socket, not feature wise but durability and less DOA or boot or i don't know what else problems, since i bought 2 asus motherboards and both started to become faulty (fried usb's, damaged pci slot from factory, and blue screens of death) I dont really care about the aesthetics, just a SOLID motherboard with the lowest fail rate!

 

[andy_Man]

Asus is a very well trusted brand. I have personally owned/used at least 5 without any problems. I would count those bad boards to super bad luck.

That being said, MSI does their super military grade components.
Gigabyte has their ultra durable and humidity resistant boards.

Read this post i made and the conclusion we had with the guys.. You see how much Asus is only for looks but sucks at the quality so bad...

 

[andy_Man]

I just read that thread and reviews. It seems Asus has a bit of a dud on their hands with that particular motherboard. I highly suggest getting it from a different source, 15 day warranty is shit. It might just not have been a reputable ebay seller.
Go with a gigabyte board, i'v had a lot and they never gave me any trouble.

Hard to suggest a board without knowing your options for ordering. Any sites you can order from?

Ok fine. Hold on checking your local online shop.

You said, "I would like to have multiple SLI options, 4 ddr slots and such!"

DDR 4 is only supported on LGA 2011-3 Sockets. If that's the case you need X99 based motherboards. Can you please confirm?

I use the ASRock Z97 OC Formula mobo and have had absolutely no issues with use, overclocking, or anything. My sister has the Z97m version and has had the same luck with hers.

Cheers!

My case is a huge full tower.. I'm not gonna install a micro atx hahahah =D

Ok fine. Hold on checking your local online shop.

You said, "I would like to have multiple SLI options, 4 ddr slots and such!"

DDR 4 is only supported on LGA 2011-3 Sockets. If that's the case you need X99 based motherboards. Can you please confirm?

No no, what i mean is 4 ddr3 slots, not ddr4 slots I know that only the x99 boards have the new technology!

Get this:

It has everything you look for.

ASROCK FATAL1TY Z97 PROFESSIONAL

Ok, this looks good, but why is the first pci-e slot so close to the second? I mean you obsviously can't install anything to both of them.. Is the first one for something like sound cards or wifi antennas? And the mb is 3 way SLI?

It supports 3 Way Crossfire and Quad SLI.

3 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slots (PCIE2/PCIE4/PCIE6: single at x16 (PCIE2); dual at x8 (PCIE2) / x8 (PCIE4); triple at x8 (PCIE2) / x4 (PCIE4) / x4 (PCIE6), 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 Slot (PCIE1: x4 mode).
Nope, only 3 way SLI.. There is simply not enough room to place four graphics cards in any way!

Asus is a very well trusted brand. I have personally owned/used at least 5 without any problems. I would count those bad boards to super bad luck.

That being said, MSI does their super military grade components.
Gigabyte has their ultra durable and humidity resistant boards.

Read this post i made and the conclusion we had with the guys.. You see how much Asus is only for looks but sucks at the quality so bad...

ASUS was good. But its recent history seems a bit disappointing. Consider this:

I was looking the same being mention at this site.

But there got to be a way to get 4 way sli working.

Either way, i dont think I'll ever buy 4 graphics cards, especially the same model and quad SLI them.. Thanx a lot for your assistance. 3 way is just fine for me

Alright. Have fun

Hey, i spotted another motherboard that might fit me!
http://www.eshopcy.com.cy/mitriki-asrock-z97x-killer-retail-p-PER.528714
It's cheaper, 3 way SLI , 6 sata 6gb's ports, HDMI and all that and its 179 euros not 225.. What do you think? The only drawback is propably the onboard sound card!

That's a great motherboard with great price to performance ratio. I would have easily suggested that yesterday itself. Because you were so persistent on Quad SLI, I didn't recommend you that. Nevertheless, I'm happy you found it yourself. And by the way Audio on that is pretty good too! No drawback its a fully loaded motherboard. See the image below to have a basic idea.

Cheers! Have Fun!
