Hi I've been looking around for a lower price for an asus Z97-pro motherboard and I found one that looks like it, but I'm not sure if its a different model that is lower quality, could someone confirm that the mother board is similar to each other? Theirs only twenty in stock in amazon and I would like to purchase it before their all gone.
Nope. The model you want is called "Asus Z97-PRO" Search for that on Amazon. The A Model and Pro Models are Different but Aesthetically they look almost identical.
If you run the Asus comparison tool you'll see there's a few more bells and whistles on the PRO but they're base specs are very similar. The Z97-A does have some advantages in some areas though (the PRO doesn't support quad AMD cards, where the -A does, but they both support quad nvidia.)
Thanks you guys I appreciate your feedback. I searched the z97-pro on amazon and that popped up. I thought it was a bit fishy because it didn't have the same title as the one on newegg and I didn't feel fully feel that they were the same, but the looked the same and I couldn't seem much detail about the motherboard on amazon like newegg, thanks again you guys!
