Im looking for new mobo since the current i use is a trash.
Please reccomend something, that doesnt needs bios updates, dont have usb problems, is good to use out of the box.
 

What are the rest of your system specs? Some motherboards require BIOS updates to support certain CPUs, so we need to know what CPU you are planning to use.

What about USB issues, like installing windows without a need of extra drivers or known to have bad usb controllers.

Should i just ignore all of the other chipsets and choose a cheapeast H97 ?
 


Thats a Win7 issue / prob. It's because Win7 doesnt support USB 3 natively, when you install it.

It will ask for drivers if you install it. And you use a flash drive and plug it into a USB 3 port

To fix it plug it into a USB 2 port

So best i can get for H97 ones is MSI H97M ECO at 70 euro each for new ones, used ASUS H97M-E is just about the same price.
But its far from cheap.
There is ASUS H81M-PLUS at 50 euro and MSI H81M-P33 at 35 euro each.

If i go with one of the cheaper ones, will it cause the same troubles i had ?

I will make clean install ofcourse.
Would swaping them for those H81M bring any results ? I pretty much only care for them to work.
At other hand im afraid it just will take my time and wont give results. Is the 70 euro price for reliability ?

If i got for the ECO one is it good ? Cant find in on the tier list.
