What brand of motherboard do you prefer using?​

Thanks to JohnT for this poll suggestion!​

ASUS for me. Rocking a X79Sabertooth.

Prefer bleeds over into only kind I've used, but hey, my ASRock hasn't given me any issues. Current Z97 Extreme6 is pretty solid.

Have always used ASUS but the Dell Alienware is growing on me fast.

I thought Dell boards were modified Intel boards at the end of the day. I could be wrong.

I do believe you are correct. But they do have their stamp on it.

Never really had a favorite motherboard, went with other :3

I've got an ASUS currently, but I'm not sure I'm 100% satisfied with it, had a few quirks to it .

I have a biostar but have always had a gigabyte and love them.

I don't make purchases based on brand; I look more at the features and cost to performance ratios.

MSI - Simply because they are currently the best choice. Asus tends to throw features at you left right and center.. and follow up with either weak components or bad drivers. I've had to return 4 Asus boards in my building career and 1 gigabyte. Personal experiences and all that^^

 

[Bladed]

I picked MSI because that's been my current and last couple of boards....but ASUS is great also!

 

[ziant]

im using Gigabyte

 

[stewie574]

Currently using Gigabyte, but I don't really have any preference.

 

[Helpless Glint]

Currently have an Asus motherboard but I have no preferences in general.

MSI XPower all the way, BIOS features are the best imo

 

[Mister36]

I have a gigabyte Z97, it's pretty good.

I have done much research in the past on the detailed circuitry and bios builds over the years, and had much experience with most board brands including the bioses and functions. I too also go by functionality and circuitry build. I also go by the availability of board statuses and not all contain what I am looking for.

Asus for me is a great board, as every brand spits out duds off and on, i do not tend to go by that, just functionalities etc.
Asus long ago was called the Cadillac of motherboards/bios. Msi is good also, when asus does not contain features wanted, as what happened to me before, and the msi bios was very reasonable.

This is the correct answer although depending on the build other factors will come into consideration. My latest build was a gaming micro-atx build in which form became very important.
