Difference between Regular B85, B85 Vanguard and B85 PRO GAMER.

[Primordial Genesis]

So 3 Motherboards have taken my fancy:

1.http://www.amazon.co.uk/B85M-E-Motherboard-Socket-Intel-S-ATA/dp/B00E5YVOYI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404681968&sr=8-2&keywords=b85me

2.http://www.amazon.co.uk/B85-PRO-Gamer-Motherboard-Express-Socket/dp/B00J3KACCY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404679669&sr=8-1&keywords=b85+pro+gamer

3.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vanguard-B85-Motherboard-Socket-Express/dp/B00F9RKUXG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1404651324&sr=8-3&keywords=b85m+asus

I understand the vanguard has the TUF Technology, however i'm led to believe most motherboards have Temperature controlling stuffs. But how exactly does the TUF Technology differ this?

I understand the B85 PRO GAMER features better Audio and being a regular ATX it features more expansion slots and Storage sata's, but what else does it bring to the table? I notice it has 1 ROG Feature, the Gamefirst II, but what is that?

I know most of you will tell me to buy a H/Z97 Chipset for this sort of money (Aroudn the £60 - £70 mark)

But I want an Asus board and their 97 counterparts are significantly more than Gigabytes.

Cheers,

Primordial genesis.

ASUS gives you the version that's linked to your motherboard, if you update it, it will lose it's license. And i think it's with or without the disc. Tell you the truth, i don't really see the point in updating GameFirst. And as i posted earlier, gamefirst doesn't really have a impact on your gaming experience.

Yeah but if you didn't update Gamefirst wouldn't it kind of "go out of date" And stop supporting future games?

I think without updating the software, every game should still be usable. I don't think the software makes profiles for individual games, but for all games if you know what i mean.

Do you know of a Gamefirst II setup guide?

Haven't found anything, but it shouldn't be too hard.

Since it uses your internet, do you need the admin password to your internet stuff? Because I'll be at uni, on their internet.

No, as long as you have a connection you should be fine.
