Mobo for gtx 970 sli, i5 4690K (oc everything)

[Alfaa]

I don't want an overkill

I would get a Asus Z97 Pro Gamer. It's not too expensive and is a good quality board for the money. I have this mobo and an Intel i5-4690k too, but I have the GTX 960 not 970. Anyway it comes with great tools for overclocking. The Asus AI Suite 3 overclocks everything automatically and you can monitor and change fan speeds and temperatures, etc...

Get an ASUS Maximus VII Ranger/Hero. They are RoG motherboards so theyre pretty much built for overclocking

Personally opted for the z97 gaming gt, slight overkill, but has enough expansion room to last a long time.

its funny because were all reccomending the motherboard we have

What about MSI Z97S SLI KRAIT EDITION

 

[Ezo Legendz]

It will do but the ASUS Maximus VII Hero/Ranger would be a better choice

 

[drtoast]

well, we all chose them for our own reasons. I recommended mine as I intend to add a second 970 to it, so chose it for 16x16 pcie config. Hoping the bandwith might make it last an extra few gens of cards.

How about you guys?

I chose mine for the Asthetics and the awesome features that come with a RoG motherboard also its a killer overclocker
