Asus or Gigabyte?

[Pugsport]

well i need to get a 1155 motherboard to replace my broken Asus P8P67 (lasted a whole month tho)

im unsure if that was just bad luck or what but i need to replace with something else and i just wanted your veiws on what to get?

im not to worried about getting another Asus board altho if it gose wrong RMA is a right pain as i found out last time (just gave up in the end and lost out £100 odd quid)

Z68X-UD5

Amazing board for the money, and with a 20 phase power delivery it rocks for overclocking.

Also take a look at the UD4.

The P67A-UD3P and UD4 are great boards to consider.

If you can live with old style bios,gigabyte z68x-ud5.

Both make good boards, personally i'd say they are the two best motherboard manufactures and are just as good as each other, so which ever one you go with you will get a good board.

Go for the board with the best amount of features and the ones you need, or the one you like the look of the best.

Gigabyte for sure.

(having cringed through the mobo/bios of a p9x79 recently)

gb get my vote as they are the best in aftersales should the worst happen and you need an rma.

ud3/4/5 are all great and one will meet your needs with its features

even the cheap d3 is a great board and its their cheapest but it was still benching almost as fast as the boards costing 3 times more

Have a gigabyte and honestly as a first timer found the BIOS really easy to use and have never looked back.

I really am an Asus fanboy BUT I've been having a very good time with my faithful Gigabyte Z68X-UD4. Not only do I adore the non-UEFI BIOS but also the stealthy matte black look of it.
