I honestly favor the MSI one. I was torn between asus and MSI as well
Can I play games with this?
Yes?
Then it’s good enough for me.
Wow, just feel like I’ve wasted my time watching these. Apart from fan header placement, no real information here. Any one who frequently uses the BIOS will learn the keys and their position, also this lame lament of “boring” looking BIOS – if it works who cares? If you are too slow to learn to take the mouse pointer off the screen when scrolling, then frankly there isn’t a lot of hope for you…. The BIOS isn’t a game, or maybe there should be some achievement for each time you access it? What’s next…”I though the case screws were too boring – they should make a little noise or light up each time we screw them, we are in the 21st century for Linus’ sake!”
6:28 AFAIK it doesn’t detect jack shit but runs on a schedule
Question, why do the mosfets have heat sinks if you cant overclock the base past 105Mhz? the mosfets on my AM3+ board didnt need any heat sinks even when i was overcklocked to 25% entirely by the base clock, and the socket was pushing 120 watts on a phenom II 1045T that was normally 95 watts and the socket was rated for 95 watts
Why do only desktop motherboards have the fancy bios’? Maybe some laptops and premade desktops want the fancy ones too!
I really liked the “Board Explorer” feature of the MSI board that shows you what everything is. All motherboards should have this feature!
ASUS UEFI is the best!
Im using the Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark S and cant be more happy about the UEFI layout. Its so easy to find everything, change and then reset something you might not want to change this time around by simply having a look at the information page they provide by pressing F10. I have been a fan of Gigabyte motherboards ever since 2006 but from now on Im definitely sticking with Asus.
who cares how it looks?I spend 30 seconds there when i install windows and that’s it.
cmon, cmos jumper?
I know this video is old, but how did you record the UEFI?
Love Asus
luke u look sic
oh look i found the perfect mobo for me!
this item does not ship to your location…
Asus > Gigabyte > MSI
This is the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard right? Because that’s the one I want to get.
Did he say, “Ecc-settera”? “Aboat”, and my personal favorite, “Mose” (mouse)
Gigabyte
to be honest, the only bios I have actually used has been on a gigabyte board. And I haven’t had an issue with it yet, so yeah.
with msi i think you can make repair stick with click bios 3, in case you screw up.
Iron your T-shirt
That MSI one is identical really to my Krait just a different colour scheme.
i hate your opinions . asus is the best hands down
Quietly waits for bang-for-buck-z170mobo showdown…
Wow my $200 z170 gigabyte gaming board only has classic mode and looks ugly
Pause at 0:01 Someone is having a good time.
Asus Rampage 3 Extreme bios was a piece of sh!t, no MPS 1.4 compatible, basically Not fully Windows 8.1 compatible… Asus P5w dh deluxe bios was worse, msi x58 eclipse is MPS 1.4 ready… Asus never again,
my next Motherboard will be Asrock… or Supermicro or Tyan… boards that are not Thunderbolt 2.0 ready, is throwing money into the toilet and flushing. LOL.
its refreshing to see how calmly and slowly luke goes over things. i dont know, most of the recent content seems like they’re rushing to the end of the video.
You guys are pro at LMG at not actually giving your opinion on something, which is literally the only reason I watched these videos. You told us all the same stuff we could find out by researching these motherboards. Some of us are here to hear what YOU think, not what the spec sheet says…
I updated my Z97-A using an old camera sd card and adapter. No detection issues at all.
asus
Msi boards just do the job very well the go by the system of if it is not broken don’t fix which i like a lot
not wearing pants… disliked! no just kidding. thanks for including a ranking for the boards to help me pick!
Which asus z97 board is that?
For looks: Gigabyte
For use: ASUS
For… I don’t know: MSI, AsRock
I don’t know. Gigabyte has a much better bios in my opinion, but asus has better fan control. Wait I have a fan hub nevermind.
what pants?
Asus forever
You guys are really helping me with building my computer!
bought it 2 years ago i, im happy with it. .
never had a problem
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z97-C (SOCKET 1150)
fir… oh wait, no1 is here -.-
I actually dont like UEFI, it looks so shitty I get cancer working with it
Gigabytes classic mode being the best in my opinion
