Whats a better motherboard

[Piccolo55]

Whats a better motherboard, a asrock 970 pro 3 or a msi 970 krait edition? cpu would be a fx 8350/8370

I say Asrock.. MSI had some issues with their vrm on 970 boards...

+1 Asrock.

I wouldn't go with either of those.

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P

8+2 phase power, LLC, good chipset/VRM cooling, good BIOS. This is my favorite 970 overclocking board. Very few have 8+2 phase power, and even fewer have LLC. This one has both. and for a great price too.

I think msi 970 krait edition is ok with 8350/8370 amd cpu
and krait edition get a good color looking
if you do also case about the color and design, maybe try msi 970 krait edition

if you want a MSI board get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130790 the MSI 970 Gaming AM3+

and if you want a asrock board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157576 get this one. the Asrock 990fx extreme6

i would not waist my money on those 2 boards that you are thinking of buying. i would spend the 20 extra dollars and get much better quality boards with better features. and remember these 2 boards have rebates. So trust me and pick one of my boards.

Every 970 series asrock apart from the 970 performance is an absolute bag o sh1te - steer clear of the pro series entirely .
The msi krait honestly looks decent but as suggested the gigabyte 970 ud3p is a superior board to every other 970 board out there -apart from maybe the Asus m5a97 evo.
