Hi hexus,
I've been out of PC building for a while. I have been using an i7 920 on a Gigabyte ex58 ud5 for six years since I built it. I'm just looking to by in kit for a Skylake build (i7 6700k I think) and I am looking for opinions/advice please.
My last two builds have been on Gigabyte mobos and have never had a problem. In fact the ud5 has been great without any issues and solid as a rock even on OC. However, this time I'm being tempted by reviews for the ROG and MSI.
Anybody got any experience of the below boards please?
Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7
ASRock Z170 Extreme6
Asus ROG Z170 Maximus VIII Hero Skylake
MSI Z170A Skylake M7 GAMING
Not sure on the technical differences an these at all!
Also I have a Corsair Hydro H50 cpu cooler on my rig and would really like to move it over from 1366 to 1151 but hearing a lot of conflicting info on whether it is doable or perhaps not cool enough?
I don't plan to OC for a couple of years, and have one SSD and three HDD in my current build. Use onboard sound and do a lot of gaming with gigabyte 970 gfx card.
Thank you guys,
PZ
