hi what is the best between the Asus Maximus X Hero or Gigabyte Gaming 7 z370

Depends what you want to do with it. I went for the Gigabyte Gaming 7 because of the superior VRMs but if you don't care about that then pick the one with the features (and looks) you like more.

Hero is better with memory OC for sure.... But Giga have improved with more recent Bios....

@8 Pack can I ask you a Qoestion

Aorus 7 for audio and support . Asus bios easier to use .
Both do 4000hz with 8 packs kits

I'm ordering a Custom Watercooled pc from OCUK but they say it won't be stable with faster than 3000mhz ram when clocked to 5ghz

Depends on the chip first and foremost then then board - flagships and ITX

Prob saying to over themselves in a wide range of potential issues

the 8pack bundle has 3600mhz ram with the same cpu and mobo as I'm getting so shouldn't I be able to get the same

should be, sure 8 Pack bundles have been setup by @8 Pack himself, just dont go updating the BIOS

sure if you ask (pay) nicely he might be able to push bundle as far as possible - again guessing would be extra charge service as time is money along with having the cooling abilities in your case for it

pc will be wc

8 Pack · 21 May 2018 at 13:01

If you get the bundle we can get this working for you no issues... 3600 mems and CPU speeds upto 5.2ghz available.

@PAULRYAN52 there you go ^^^

PAULRYAN52 · 21 May 2018 at 13:31

Was thinking of going for the Asus Maximus X Hero myself till I noticed a load of threads on the asus forum with audio problems...

So I thought I go for the Gigabyte Gaming 7 board then I noticed this 16 page long audio problem thread http://forum.gigabyte.us/thread/2549/aorus-z370-sounds-problem-realtek

Am confused on what board to go for now :confused:

Hello there, new member here, I have the Asus hero Z370 and while I find it a stonking good board It turns on at power up then immediately goes off just for a couple of seconds before powering on again and booting, it does this every time I turn my pc on, is this normal?
