Sn8ke_iis Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Any of those would be fine. Buy the one you think looks cool in your case and has a good price/warranty. Since you are installing a non K CPU, VRM for overclocking isn't really an issue. If you do upgrade your CPU later to a K version, it would be highly unlikely any of those OC better than the others to any significant degree.

BitMaster Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I would personally not consider those with realtek LAN chips, that is a clear indicator of cutting corners. If you want, invest some time watching Buildzoid's videos on YT. His channel is called Actual Hardware Overclocking. He has many vids covering Z390 boards like the above. Get one that he doesnt dislike, that is a good start. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrwObTfqv8u1KO7Fgk-FXHQ Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudel_chw Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Remember to deactivate those Modules that use StarForce protection, prior to replacing the motherboard, so that you dont lose an activation.

BitMaster Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thank´s a lot for Your input ! Sn8ke_iis and BitMaster Since a long Time I´m reading your post´s and triyng to follow the advices! Nice Fly`s We are not failure proof ourselves, at least I am not. Look at my Z370 board, it's one of the worst Z370 around..I was in a hurry, didnt read enough tets, ok..they werent that many out at that time but it was a GREAT MISPICK and now I am too lazy to put a new one in. I am thinking about a Z390 board with good RAM overclocking but it's not worth it to go from 49ns to 39ns RAM latency. There are more rewarding things to tune. Watch BZ's vids, invest some evenings and you will hopefully know what NOT to buy, that makes it somewhat easier to avoid pitfalls. I would likely consider a Gigabyte board these days and avoid Asus.

Mar28 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Morning! (Remember to deactivate those Modules that use StarForce protection, prior to replacing the motherboard, so that you dont lose an activation.) Yes there will be almost a new system, MB+CPU+RAM!:) (Watch BZ's vids) Will do it!;) In a few weeks it will be Carnaval, and retailers here use to promote some rebate in prices! Thank´s again!!! __________________ MSI Z390 Gaming Plus Intel I7 8700 @4.4Ghz CoolerMaster H411R Corsair LPX 3000Mhz 32GB NVidea GTX 1080 TI XFX650W PNY SSD 256gb win10 64 Samsung SSD480gb DCS,IL21946 WD Caviar Green 1Tb Ultimate Tir5.
