What’s currently the best mobo for the 8700k?

[Tanguy SEHA 0]

Hi folks,

2 weeks ago I broken my mobo, an Asrock extreme pro4, I took an Gigabyte Aorus ultra gaming to replace the old one but to be honest, since I took this one, my cpu is hotter and in general I have worse performances in X plane 11, so I want to change for a better one

what can you advice me? 

 

Regards

Don't know about it being the best, but I have an ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero and am quite happy with it.

Best = Asus Maximus X Apex.

 

I have the Maximus X Code.

Maximus apex?  It's only 200 bucks at newegg - that's the best board?

Nevermind that's the z270 version

350 bucks for the z370

Apex: smooth waters run deep

Really, don't let that $350 dollar price fool you, the value it brings is almost priceless. The board comes with meaningful features that are not advertised, such as pro memory timings for specific memory modules. I mean, what good is a superior design, engineering and build if it's in the hands of an word not allowed? :-)

Seriously, this board is a Maximus in name only. It can do things other boards simply cannot -in terms of showing off the full potential of the Coffee Lake.

Two thumbs up

One more thing on the Apex:

You're not going to find much in the way of comment or any kind user feed back on the Apex at your favorite forum. It's like Westman and I are the only ones on the planet with this board.

Which had me wondering: this board could make "crash-to-desktop",  customer support and tweaker threads go out of business. <g>
