Hi all,

I can't decide between these 2 boards for my next build:

Asrock Z790 Taichi
MSI Z790 Carbon

My current hardware i already own: i7-13700K + MSI RTX 4090 Trio X.

I am looking for a stable, reliable long lasting board that won't give stress/issues with XMP (all RAM i use will be from the QVL )
Will use a G-Skill 6800mhz DDR5 Hynix A-die.
Nor has stability issues not planning to OC until i need it. Primary use is gaming and general tasks.

Asus has as i found out to many issues with RAM support and XMP according to forums and feedback, Asus isn't what they used to be is the consensus...

So far i heard good things about these 2 brands.
So far from feedback Asrock is solid and reliable specially in the mid/high end spectrum. But that can also be said about MSI as well with its build quality.

Your feedback is welcome thank you.
 
MSI Z790 Carbon= A solid board with far fewer annoyances
Asrock Z790 Taichi = Best for extreme overclocking, port placement and I/O layout are annoying and BIOS flashback is questionable.

Thanks for the reply,

Still researching tho which board to get all i want is good ram compatibility and XMP that works and above all stability!
