Best motherboard for the i7-4790k

[SpikeAman]

I'm a bit confused to say the truth. Maximus VII Formula or VI ?? Which one and why of course..
One other thing to consider is the gaming factor. Is there any other combination of mb-cpu except asus atm?? For example 4790k with other mobo.

PS. Prefer not to tell me that for gaming i should go for i5. Thanks 😄

Go for the Maximus VII Formula.

You dont understand, i mean is there any other lga 1150 mobo i should combine better with the 4790k?? Which one would be the best for gaming?? Which one is the top right now?

Nope. ROG motherboards are cream of the crop. And the Maximus VII Formula is pretty much the top dog in the Maximus VII series.

Whats the difference between VII and VI Formula btw??

I'm partial to the Z97-WS for the SLI capabilities but it wouldn't overclock as well as an ROG.

The VII series are based on the Z97 chipset while the VI series are using Z87 chipset.

So why not to chose any other Z97 chipset mobo if that is the only difference???
