GIGABYTE vs ASUS live demo

[aky19832001]

Gigbyte. I've built hundreds. And Gigabyte is by far more stable with respect to bios, features are better as well. However Asus is more for the extreme builder, and someone who doesn't mind tweaking every now and then. Trust me if want a durable, drama free PC gigaybte, even for gaming.

"Tech Talk with Associate VP of Marketing of GIGABYTE United (MB/VGA Divion)"

This means he's probably paid to advertise the Gigabyte board as the better product or is at least biased towards the company he works for.

Yes, Gigabyte boards are increasing in quality. My old socket A/462 board was fairly good at the time I got it, lasted me 7 years. I'm using Asus now though just to see what the hype is, so far I've had few/no problems.

[asus3571]

gigabyte has completly come out of the hole they were in long ago i put gigabyte boards in everything i built wouldnt have it any other way all boards have been great to me from the ep45ud3p i gave my wife to the x58aud3r im on now never had a prob what so ever gotta say though my ep45ud3p is my fav board just cuz its old fast as hell overclocked for 4 years now still running perfect tech support is great

[the14u36]

Asus is garbage. so is there teck support, ill never buy another board ever again. i have been buying asus boards for the last 10 years, but when i called for teck support i had to give the agent a lesson in mannors and rudeness shame this company cant afford to imploy agents with customer service skills. shame

[MrJohn1966elliott]

my Gigabyte vs my Asus ........Winner is Gigabtye. is best. it still going 5 years BUT ASUS is crapped, It was blew up about 2 years, I threw it in bin.

[ripusheet]

my x48tdq6 died under warranty and im waiting may be to the end of the warranty to receive an explanation but mobo? forget!!!

only Asus!!!

[MajorisGaming]

Gigabyte suck like Asrock xD...

Noobs! Asus WTF !

[MorkaGraven]

@MajorisGaming Ever tried installing a modern Asus board in anything? Admittedly my case isn't the best but that foam layer on the shield makes force much required to get the damn thing in there properly. Performance wise, the board does everything I need it to, no complaints there.

[Edge0fPain]

Well, it's obviously going to be biased.

[akcessdenied]

I've owned Gigabtye boards, nForce3 and 570 SLI they both still work and I gave them to family members who use them everyday. My Asus board had the PCI-E slot die. I also have a six year old MSI board I used for my wifes computer, works fine. My mobo I'm using right now is a MSI K9N2 Diamond, it works great everyday. My next mobo will be a MSI or a Gigabyte... I might even go with a DFI if they use a nvidia chipset I like.

[kenkem396]

GIGABYTE and ASUS put out some dam good boards really cant say a bad thing about the two. if i had to pick one. i guess i whould  take gigabyte. the dam thing just looks better.

Thermals: Gigabyte *Ultra Durable 3* > Asus *Xtreme Design* > Evga > MSI

[Slash27015]

@madzane94 EVGA is worst for oc? You obviously haven't owned one, or you're horrible at overclocking.

[Exoime]

@madzane94 in each one of your charts your wrong...gigabyte has the slowest chipset on the market,and the more unstable one,gibabite has HUGE driver problems,gibabyte has very few gaming mobo.

Asus and Evga , Msi are the best motherboards producers with the highest high end boards...so before posting a comment read some forums and get informed..

[apolozorfanstein]

gigabyte better than asus

[wireless2107]

really?whats thedifferent???

[StorRMok]

@apolozorfanstein

You are absolutely right=) GigaByte rulez)

[Exoime]

@apolozorfanstein you need to get informed....becasue your wrong..

[ImmortalUniverse]

@apolozorfanstein

Gigawho ??? can you eat that giga bite ?

sounds like a cracker or something .

i know asus and asrock.

with a name like ass rock you cant go wrong

[fourbarposer]

gigabyte components have been maybe slightly better than asus but the Phoenix bios has had and still has some issues which are not in the ami bios. slower boot with raid/ahci enabled, hangs or long post pauses with some hdd.

so while in theory they can cold boot quick in practise if the extra features are used they're anywhere from 4 to 10x slower to boot than ami bios.

if phoenix has re-designed their bios to overcome there limit feel free to comment, haven't seen latest model.

[mroverclocer]

gigabyte better ?? ahahahhahahah good joke ahahahahahah.

[b0ss6769]

Ofcourse its much better m8

[REPOMAN24722]

Gigabyte is much better

[zorandesign]

ABIT Ruled...but it's dead :(((

[vlefteris]

If ABIT ruled why is dead? nice one huh?

[zorandesign]

because of the bad advertising

[Exoime]

@vlefteris Abit was taken by Asus and Evga

[ytunuame]

I've tried with two PSUs one 420W the other 700W with the same result. The cpu is c2 duo e8400.

After searching on the net I found the problem with this boards is fairly common. I hope I can return it to the reseller and get an Asus.

[ytunuame]

I liked GB and just got an ep45-ds3. Initially the board failed to POST when memory was present in slot 1. After a few boots it started failing no matter where the memory is installed. I traced the problem by removing components leaving only the cpu - with the same result - no POST amd the board power-cycles every 5 or so secs. With the cpu out of the board it does not power cycle. Resetting the cmos didn,t help, and the board does this when out of the case too (so there is no short underneath).

[Emeianoite]

UH UHH UHH UHH UMMM AH UH HMMMM AND UH UM AH HMMM UMM UHHH AH

Is he fucking dumb?

[nrox653]

So, you wouldn't talk like that when you're supposed to talk to a live audience with absolutely NO script to follow on?

[Emeianoite]

Don't even reply, you play runescape.

[nrox653]

Okay. So, what is the basis for your accusation of "people who play RS are of a lower life form"?

And this stuff is coming from an idiot that likes to record himself drunk.

[Emeianoite]

yea, because I held the camera while I puked... LOL good one you dumbass.

[nrox653]

Whatever. This is the stuff I'd expect from racists anyway.

[Emeianoite]

ROFL! HAHAHAHA!! XD!!!!! Oh god, suck my dick please.

[nrox653]

No, discriminatory gay piece of shit.

[Emeianoite]

aw come on, I'll fuck your mom after wards too...

[nrox653]

I'm so scared, why don't you grill your head and get back to be hmm?

[LordChadwick777]

Asus FTW.

[yakov20077]

ASUS Rulessssss !!!!!!!!

[usero5]

asus 4 ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gabrielitaipuacu]

é mesmo os caras do toms hardware são neutros

gigabyte nunca chegará aos pés da asus

[bazsx]

Video sem fundamento algum...

Um cara da GigaByte fazendo teste de comparacao entre Asus e Gigabyte...

Logico que o cara vai puxa a sardinha pro lado dele ne...

Se fosse algum cara neutro tipo os caras do Tom's Hardware seria mais interessante...

Esse video e total sem fundamento...

É a mesma coisa que pedir para um palmeirense fala bem do corinthians...

[kabel51]

After the mobo i have now witch are ASUS i can just say

NAA, Never ASUS AGAIN

[GlaBurnzUrHouseAK47]

they problly rigged the Asus one...

This a tremendous bias study!

ASUS 4 Life!!!

[elite22red]

how can u compare the to 2 without switching the other parts from one to the other???? the Asus could have a hoter cpu in it (one that like high voltage) 2 many differents one water cooling setup mit not b run as great

should have tested with using all same part and changing out the mobo ASUS Maximus II Formula P45 way better

[CRAKIZGOOD]

i alwayz had a hard time overclocking with a gigabyte i like asus

[whitehot75]

you should take a look at the new P45 Extreme they just announced. It could kick some butt!!

Gigabyte have easily caught Asus, and overtaken them in my opinion

[CRAKIZGOOD]

ohh the gigabyte one

ya i went to extremesystems fugger could get to 700mhz with that one

[Denso2131]

GA-X48-DQ6 will this beat Asus strikerII?

[skylinerspeeder]

Gigabyte boards are generally better value for money but theres no doubt that asus boards are better.

[PmrNut]

why do you say that? im not flaming, i just like knowing what people think. I just got a giga x48 in what ways are asus better? just curious

[skylinerspeeder]

I didn't think you were flaming. Sorry if it came across like that.

Generally the high end asus boards have more features and better overclocking features than high end gigabyte boards.

Although it is kinda funny that the board i have (the gigabyte P35-DS3R) has the highest possible FSB of any board. :)

[mukmikshipitik]

YES INDEED!!!

[MaDMaxiBo]

all technologies have problems.

i prefer Giga ...

EP35 rocks !!!

[ollie3003]

you cant have an unbiased test between Gigabyte and Asus from a guy called GIGABYTETECHNOLOGY lol

[kutuluu]

Yep, gonna get one of P35-DS3 series mobos for my next rig. Looks very good indeed. Send me a free sample? :D

[antipesto93]

GA-P35-DS3P roks!!

[TChainsaw]

GIGABYTE POWER

[fatcrewz]

Asus and gigabyte sharing the same technology now

[Prowler1]

I Use The Old Gigabyte GA-7VTXH,(AMD 1600+)

(It's my second Gigabyte Box, 1st was AMD K6)

It's The 2ND Time Around that i have

to replace the darn capacitors, about 11 of them leaked and swollen with 1 actually fully blown of the pc, that's the second time the Motherboard being the weakest link.

now i can see you tackled this annoying issue with marketing the "durability" boards.

[Prowler1]

2.

Im looking for a new board and was disappointed that some of the more expensive high end boards (like The DQ6) dont com with wi-fi on board or an error Display.

[aleksankazakov]

ASUS is good but GA better I E Tell yEu that body

[Sanshiro86]

Never had a problem with gigabyte, they are good ;)

[kapakas]

long live asus

[GIGABYTETECHNOLOGY]

Although u may feel disappointed with the old generation, but the current Ultra Durable 2 Series will not let u down. The quality components helps overclocking much better than any competitors, but extend the lifespan of the board. There will be 2 models launching in Americas based on Intel X38 in late Sep. So stay tuned.

[exsterenpro]

@GIGABYTETECHNOLOGY Can you be so kind to give me a free Core i7 PC with all the products you guys manufacturate

dream cost us nothing :)

[Shark00n1337]

Since the problems with the last generation of your motherboard, I won't buy a Gigabyte that soon. I'll first wait and see how this new generation that just came out handles and maybe with a X38 chipset...
