[SOLVED] If given the choice between these 2 boards, witch one would you choose?

[Bruno Vincent]

These 2 boards are about the same price over here in Thailand.

What are you guys thoughts on this?

PC is for productivity, no gaming.

Went through the specs of each and they're pretty much identical. Asrock has become a respected vendor and well Asus has been around for donkey's years. Im more an Asus fan personally.

Flip a coin, out of 3.

Thanks but I'm not sure specs are the same?

Asus has 2 video ports, does this mean can only take 2 monitors? AsRock has 3

Asus can take m.2 , AsRock has no m.2 ? Can Asrock take a EvoPro860 NVME?

Asus say they don't have RAID, does it mean Asus Board can't be used with Raid?

For multiple monitors you'd want a video card for the increased resolution.

Sata SSD's are good enough for productivity.

Raid doesn't matter and less complicated using SSDs.

Thanks Boju, can the AsRock take a SamSung EVO 960 Nvme and get the full speed with it without m.2 port?

 

[Bruno Vincent]

I plan on buying an Evo860 NVME soon, need a board that can support that one

 

[boju]

Yes that board has Pcie 1x slot for nvme for a bootable drive located just above the 16x slot. It'll provide the sequentials and bandwidth far succeeding HDDs in raid.
