What's the best motherboard for a 9900K?

Arguably one of the best motherboards for the Z390 chipset would be this:

Asus ROG Maximus XI FORMULA [ca.pcpartpicker.com]


But realistically you probably want one of these:

Asus ROG Strix Z390-E GAMING [ca.pcpartpicker.com]

or

Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro WiFi [ca.pcpartpicker.com]

[🍃🪻🪷Sylvie🩵🍸🍵]

Either Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme, ASUS RoG Maximus XI Xtreme, or MSI MEG Gaming Godlike Z390 Motherboard.

I just spent a week on that very question: It's the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Extreme

In value at that level, performance & internal component quality (particularly around the VRM), it took the pack in my book.

But that's only if by "best" you did actually mean Top-Tier. Once you step off the very top models (basically what Sammy listed) there is a pretty quick drop off in the Z390s & Z370s for that matter.

If you don't mind droppoing a few superfluous bells & whistles (as well as "cutting edge" bragging rights). The Gigabite Z370 Gaming 7 is a very competent board with great OC support at a significantly better value. It is in fact what I opted to go with (I also backed off the 9900K for the 9700k just based on the performance/value curve).

I've asked myself and the internet for about 4-5 weeks ^^'

I took the MSI Z390 with 9900k and hardcore cooling 5.1ghz

My next mainboard will be a gigabyte ^^ but maybe a msi.

i had the Pro version of the gigabyte ( ^^'...)

It is a real hard question ^^' but I took the z390 godlike

I ask myself now..should I sell the msi and buy a gigabyte ^^?

for HC OCs MSI for normal HC users the gigabyte

For overclocking, Toms reviews the Gigabyte Aorus Extreme as potentially the best but it costs.

For non-overclocking, pick the one with the appropriate mobo layout for your needs.

MSI MEG Z390 ACE is pretty good option without going too much overboard with GODLIKE and $600 price of it.
