So which one to choose for my new PC build in terms of OC, fan control and reliability?
The things I'm concerned are:
- BIOS fan control. I've read that gigabyte has quite limited fan control in bios but a proper one in windows via application(I prefer proper fan control via BIOS and lose the application option all together). Not sure about asus, but apparently better fan options in bios?
- Asus has realtec NIC, Gigabyte has intel NIC(so obviously wayyyy better)
- Asus has 2 legacy PCI bus connectors, gigabyte only one. Not really concern, but in my mind I would prefer zero legacy shit, so +1 for gigabyte.
- OC ability pretty much the same I guess? My power is corsair ax760 and cooler is NH-D14
Edit: It turns out, I mistakenly wrote in the headline U3H when there is not such board. I meant D3H.
Edit: Conclusion: winner, Asrock Z87 Fatal1ty Killer
