Best motherboard brand

[shovenose]

It would be nice if you could explain your choice

[shovenose]

I voted Asus of course

DFI Lanparty seires (not the cheap ones). The ones I've used have had all good, solid Chemi-Con PSC caps and good MOSFET and Chipset cooling, although they can be a bit expensive. Gigabyte is my second preference, followed by Intel, followed by MSI. I would only use ASUS if I couldn't get any of those other brands. I've seen way too many die way too young to really trust them.

I wanted to vote Abit even though it is out of business now. I'm using an old Abit KN8 motherboard, which has exclusively Japanese brand capacitors. It has been serving me for 5 and a half years till now and I haven't had any problem with it (except the NF4 standard single chipset is way too hot).

It's been severing you for 7 years? Which body parts has it severed?
