Haven't come across any major issues when using the CPU.Not sure about the onboard graphics card. Also since you would be using a dedicated GPU, how does it matter ? As far as CPU performance goes, it is very very strong.

Overclocking non K CPUs with special BIOS has it's fair share of disadvantages. You should mention that too. Although overclocking Skylake non K CPUs is possible, it comes with caveats.

Maximus VII Ranger is based on Z97 chipset and not Z170

I have carried Motherboard with me, didn't face any issue. Had got the Asrock Z87 Fatal1ty Pro. Worked pretty well for 3 years.

GTX 970 has more CUDA cores compared to GTX 1060. Technically speaking, the 1060 is a successor to the 960 and not 970. 1070 would be the successor of the 970. CUDA cores matter in professional apps. I would stick with 970 if work is priority.

I wouldn't say that for a Motherboard though. CPU and to some extent RAM is fine. I personally would prefer purchasing a Motherboard locally. As for the original question, Asus and Gigabyte both make good quality boards. Choose whichever you prefer/ like more.

Couldn't agree more. If you want to use a Universal Block then better get VRM heatsinks seperately and then stick em up with thermal pad and have a high cfm fan blowing air over them all the time if you want to see the card alive for a longer period of time.

Nice effort but I agree with MAV, get a better case. Will make life so much easier.

You could actually do that. ;)

Hello, As the title says, I got the Asus Crosshair V Formula - Z and AMD FX9370 to test. I decided to do Air/Water/LN2 benching on this platform. Afterall this is a flagship chip from AMD and I think it deserves that level of attention and effort and so does the board. A few words about the...

Someone is going flatout ;) Good, should translate into a nice balanced setup. Keep it up.

Nice! How is the A10 overall performance wise ?
