which motherboard is better asus vs msi vs gigabyte ?

[bibo151993]

so i have 3 option all are the same price in my country
1-Gigabyte GA-P85-D3 Socket 1150 Motherboard
2-Asus B85M-E Socket 1150 Motherboard
3-MSI B85-G43 GAMING Socket 1150 Motherboard or MSI H97 PC Mate Socket 1150 Mobo
so which one should i go for i have had gigabyte before not really durable as they say is it better now ?

I'd go w/ the Asus first, GB would be second choice, wouldn't consider MSI due to their poor QC

 

[volcanoscout]

I would go for either the Asus for build quality or the MSI H97 for features. If you've got a Haswell CPU or plan to get one, I'd get the H97.

Msi, Good motherboard, good for oc, near in budget, crossfire and sli support. Go for msi, but I will suggest a z97 chipset mobo of you have budget. ....

[Rocking Durgesh]

Oh I didn't consider that. Asus will be first option. .... but take a good h97 or z97 chipset mobo. .....

What CPU? What will you be doing with this rig?

What CPU? What will you be doing with this rig?

intel core i5 4590 for gaming

 

[Tradesman1]

can go the 85 or the H97 - unless planning to upgrade CPU in the future to a K model or planning for the Broadwell CPU release the Z97 may well be a waste of money

do you think asus is better i mean it looks ok i prefer msi gaming p85 g43

Asus is the number 1 mobo maker (by far) for good reasons, as I mentioned I won't touch MSI due to their poor QC (quality control)...part of my systems business is building and I stand behind my builds - if a system goes belly up it ends up costing me out of pocket, so I only use high quality mobos and those from reputable companies that have high standards and quality controil. On trouble calls I get, I see more defective MSI mobos than any two other manufacturers put together, so I won't use them for builds

Actually @Tradesman1 we need to know first where he came from.

Because on Asia as far as i know
1st. MSI
2nd. Gigabyte
3rd. ASUS

MSI way have more responsibilty then ASUS (my friends own a computer hardware shop, also building like you)

 

[apamular]

I agree with Tradesman1 I would go for Asus as 1st choice and 2nd for Gigabyte I 'm from Asia and I had terrible issue with MSI quality. I bought 5 MSI way back its 2 of the mobo already broke after a year and 2months. so i never purchased MSI ever again.

MSI are no one 1 I'm gaming and quality the quality control is far more then Asus have a higher RMA return rate I say MSI and Gigabyte are the best they have both been making motherboards longer and if they were no good they would have not survived 30 years.

 

[Tradesman1]

Actually MSI is #4 is mobo sales, they used to be #3 but wer passed by ASRock back about 2010 - since then MSI has continued to slip and the Rock has continued to pull away, though they have a long way to go to catch GB and they have a fair ways to go to try and catch up to Asus.

I was also big and blind fan of asus. I used 6 years of asus. And don't get any problem​. But i also don't get any satisfaction also. But i thought it was my cpu and gpu fault. But now recently i use msi z170 board. Some issue i face but that is reading issue. Otherwise performance is better. In asus it gives me wrong information of my system. Msi is msi.
