Any real difference between the two listed above?

 

[CountMike]

Prime Pro is a bit more "serious" MB, right next to Rog ch6/7.

Serious as in aesthetically or something else?

Aesthetic is fun part, VRM is serious part as well as other equipment options on the MB.

Of the 2 Asus boards listed above, I think the main difference is the Strix is targeted more for "gaming" use, so it can support higher speed memory when compared the Pro, and the audio used is "higher end", plus a few extra features Asus may include.

If I recall, Asus targets the Pro series more as a, entry-level mainstream board for all users if you will. So it's not really focused solely towards gamers, but more so for anyone that needs a PC that require the features that the X470 chipset offers over the B450 for their day-to-day use.

So for gaming the rog would be a better choice.

I don't think you can really go wrong with either board if you were wanting a gaming build as Asus is reputable brand when it comes to their motherboards.

On their website though, you can do a side-by-side comparison of the boards which lists what each board includes so you can see how it compares.

You are wrong about memory on Pro prime, mine is running at 3600MHz right now.

Op either board is worth every penny.
Spend some time looking at the 1 link i posted you can look at the power phases compared to others of the same price range.
