What is the best motherboard for the amd fx 8350. Right now I am looking at the Asus Sabertooth 990fx R 2.0 and the Asus Crosshair V ROG series. The ROG series is an extra $60 but is it really worth it? Thanks
the rog is the best board indeed, is it worth it? depends on your personal taste, both boards are great, and in term´s of connectivity they are roughly the same, however, the rog has a better lan chip. intel gigabit lan chip, on which the sabertooth has a realtek. Further the rog has better onboard sound, and more feutures in the bios to offer for overclocking.. and looks better overall, but thats a personal opinnion.
Both boards are basicly great for overclocking.
I have the Sabertooth and it has been running my 8350 at 4.8Ghz no problem for quite a while now. I love it. That being said there are some features that make the ROG much better although it is more money.
They are both great motherboards but really you need to look at them and see if you want the feautures on the Crosshair and are willing to pay for them.
indeed ☺
