Asus vs MSI Motherboards. Which one is better?

[R0H1T]

This thead is solely about the OP having buyers remorse over grabbing an MSI motherboard instead of Asus and trying to get positive feedback about their purchase...

In that case I bought two MSI x570 boards in the last 2 years, no problems with them so far. You're welcome OP

Hi,
Personally I wouldn't buy anything from msi seeing they were caught scalping their own gpu's.

As rock or asus well now you have a little better comparison
My next might be as rock seeing asus has got completely stupid price wise.

First you need to hold on the context when posting such accusations.
It was a subsidiary company from MSI, not MSI itself.
A greedy employee did scalping cause he had access to do it. One shitty person, not MSI.
Of course everyone can go:"Well thats their word, they might lie about it!"
But in the end I dont think someone is guilty until proven. And a company with ~2000 eployees doesnt go scalping a couple of fucking 3090's to gain maybe what? 10.000$ ? When their whole revenue is millions of dollars?
Come on, use some common sense, that was a greedy employee there who thaught he can get away with it.
According to MSI they only scalped 4 GPU's. And they refunden the money those customers payed extra.

It's like with cars, you can't rate by brand. Some models are great, some are plagued with problems.
You basically need to wait some months and check user reviews for issues.

Both mostly make great boards, Asus has a longer track record for quality, but their pricing recently got out of hand.
But even Asus isn't perfect: ASUS Recalls ROG Maximus Z690 Hero Motherboards Due to Fire and Burn Hazard

I think the last years the "MSI Tomahawk Series" where the most sold boards (at least in Germany). The price is great compared to Asus, and it has quite some exclusive features like better VRM section & 6 layer PCB with 2oz copper. But Asus's "TUF Gaming Series" with Mil grade components is also a very interesting choice. They are also one of the few boards without ugly G4M3R style.

My current Asus mobo is 11 years old and still going strong if that helps. 2700K system, see specs.

I have used both (ASUS and MSI) of these a lot, I have 3 pc with MSI and 2 with ASUS, we work in programming field, I see MSI one are better when it comes to performance (same specs pc).

What you say is very important. Did MSI perform better at same conditions? That may deserves another thread to discuss.
