GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 vs ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME vs ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer

[Umegadem]

I am planning a 3 way SLI with 3 GTX 970. I have found 2 MOBO that fits it but not too sure about the Fatal1ty Z97x KIller. Please tell me the Pros and Cons of each MOBO and whch is the best one among all of them. If there any better ones do tell me about them. Thanks!

The Gigabyte won't work, as 3rd PCIe slot would be x4. That Fatal1ty board would work for you. I'm a fan of ASUS for their quality and BIOS, but that's a Z87 board. Their Z97 board, "Hero", would have the same PCIe slot limitation as the Gigabyte board.

Have you considered 2 GTX980 instead of 3 GTX 970?

The problem is I already own a GTX 970.
