Hey there people!

I know this a Asus forum and I am personally leaning towards the Rampage the most but I have seconds thoughs.

I have heard alot of rumors about quaility check is not that good and the bios acting up along with som "cpu pins" that should be damged very easily. Again I can't confrim these, so where better to ask then actually owners. I read the reviews on newegg + amazone to hear what buyers think too.

MSI Godlike is a fine board too, but not a fan of the cheesy "Godlike" theme and the bright colors, not a fan of their logo either sadly.. Just personal taste thats all. I do however very much like the thermal armor and support for GPU to counter sagging and such. Hear the Killernet "very cheesy" should be amazing. Its seemse to be of VERY high quaility too, build wise.

Its rather new and have usb 3.1 support. But I can fix that on Asus Rampage with a usb 3.1 card really.

I got the option to change my order from Asus Rampage to MSI Godlike if I am VERY LUCKY. But I rather like the design and Strix
980 ti build quaility is so much better than 980 ti MSI, who looks like cheap plastic toys. I like to go with a build where gpu and motherboard brand is the same.

So yeah, tell me. What is your experience and would I be right to choose Rampage over Godlike.

So come one, come all! I need your help and advise dearly 🙂

Rampage V Extreme hands down. 🙂

Of course everyone here is going to say get the Rampage lol. Just like if you ask that same question on the MSI forum, they will recommend the Godlike. If you want an unbiased opinion, post on some place neutral, like Overclock.net or LinusTechTips.

By the way, although there have been posts on here regarding some QC problems, I've never experienced any of those on any ROG boards, including the RVE.

I have 2 EVGA 980 TI Hydro Coppers installed in a Rampage V and neither complained. I understand your concerns. I had the same concerns. I saw people complain about every board. That led me to get the board that had the features I wanted. ASUS is the top dog when it comes to PWM headers and 10k temperature headers. Why every motherboard doesn't have them is beyond me.

I brought my system up a couple of days ago and I'm happy with it. I'm still playing with all the settings (there are a bunch of them) and getting comfortable with it.

I have no major complaints.

Just pray you never have to deal with Asus customer support. They are the worst in the industry.

Short answer...Ranpage V Extreme

Long answer:

Not as clear cut as it seems. If you are going to be OCing and want top performance at the cutting edge end then I think the RVE is where it is at. However if you are going to be "normal" OCing for gaming and video encoding then both will serve you almost equally well.

For me the RVE BIOS and functionality make it a great all round board for everything. Gigabyte and MSI BIOS not so good for me.

Customer service depends a bit on where you live but for many it is a complete nightmare with ASUS...a big minus when/if you have problems and pretty important.

I have had MSI X99 Gigabyte and RVE I still have the Gigabyte as spare but RVE keeps me coming back and keeps me OCing

Cache OCing in particularly the other boards don´t get to the same level...

Gigabyte, Msi are not bad but I Like Asus more the design and the quality of Asus I have always have a good experience with Asus

Bought a full warranty service at a custom rig builder shop. So I don't have to deal with Asus. It includes self risk + more. It lasts 4 years 🙂
