Which motherboard to buy

[tuqsi]

I am planning to buy a rig and I need help with buying a motherboard. I am going to use i7 8tha gen professori and I am maybe going to overclock it so I was looking for LGA 1151 z370 motherboards. I came up with two, asus rog Strix z370-f and Msi gaming pro carbon ac but I hope you could suggest me others If they are better. My max price point is 230€. I heard that z370-f had problems with overclocking or something but I dont know If it has anymore. Hope you could help me with this.

Asus for less problems

Asus has more features & less compatibility issues.

okay so i use wifi (ethernet isnt bpossible) so wifi card would solve the problem and i can use my phone as wifi hotspot then?

I follow the Maxim of Festina Lente ("Hurry Slowly.") The Z370 Taichi should beat out both boards, but the pricing depends on where you live. Also, note that it comes with a wifi antennae kit, so that eliminates the need for a wifi card of the sort. Asus ROG boards tend to be overpriced, and the Taichi is truly a fantastic board. https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/KbNypg/asrock-z370-taichi-atx-lga1151-motherboard-z370-taichi

I looked up the asrock Mobo. It seemed Nice but it was quite more expensive in my country so it was bit over my budget.

i dont know about other motherboards but asrock fata1ty series dont have proper driver for audio.
i bought one and now cant use the hd audio.

My apologies Tuqsi. What country do you live in? Are there any stores that the parts MUST be bought from?

 

[tuqsi]

Well I live in Finland and the Store isnt necessary but I think Store called jimm’s sells most parts for the cheapest price. Btw I looked again for taichi it wasnt that expensive that i couldnt buy it but it crossed the budget a little.

Don't bother with the Taichi, just saw how much it was on jimm's. If you want a moderate OC, then the K6 (if it's in stock) https://www.jimms.fi/fi/Product/Show/134239/fatal1ty-z370-gaming-k6/asrock-fatal1ty-z370-gaming-k6-atx-emolevy should be fine, but the Extreme4 https://www.jimms.fi/fi/Product/Show/134240/z370-extreme4/asrock-z370-extreme4-atx-emolevy is also a VERY good board for the money. The k6 comes with onboard post-code LED's, so it might make it easier to troubleshoot system issues, along with making for a slightly better overclocker.

Ok Thanks! I have to look them. I dont know much about asrock motherboars but I have to do some research first before I make my decision
