Which is a better Z68 Motherboard?

[clay9477]

Hi people, I'm currently building a new system, mainly for work, surfing the internet, office doc,excel, watching videos and some light gaming.

Currently, I am spoiled for choices as i can choose either the MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 or the Asus P8Z68-V as they are of similar price in my country.

So which board can provide me with better stability and reliability?

Thanks for your help.

i would go for the msi.Because it has pci-express 3.0.so its more future proof.

For reliability i would prefer Asus. But since the MSI has that juicy thing called PCI 3.0, does make it a better choice.

I suggest , go for ASUS , Because i am using the ASUS Z68 Board and their service is also good.Getting good performance also

Decided i shall go for the MSI one since there is a 5 year warranty. Furthermore, i have seen and heard that ASUS Z68 board have been experiencing BIOS related problems. Thanks anyway.

Did some checks and realized that ASUS Z68 board aren't that fantastic but MSI would last longer in this case because of its Military Class II cert.

ASUS--> 3 Year Warranty
MSI--> 5 year Warranty

Definitely more incentive for me to get MSI than the ASUS board. Thanks anyway for your recommendation.

MSI has really fast RMA and, in my experience, replace with a new boxed unit. Asus replaces with recert parts.
