Hi,
I am in the market for choosing between two motherboards for my Intel i9-9900k. I would just like some advice and such for my concerns/questions.
It's between the Gigabyte Aorus Pro WiFi which I think is a great deal for the money and the Asus ROG Strix E Gaming.
Why I like the Gigabyte board - great value. I can get it for under $200 in my area easily. I think $175.
Why I like the Asus board - After watching a YouTube video of it's BIOS, it was pretty damn impressive. Extremely feature rich.
I haven't seen Gigabyte's Z390 BIOS [if they have updated it at all]. I know it's good, I just don't know if it's as intuitive and user friendly and helpful as Gigabyte's. Perhaps someone can comment on that.
My 2nd concern/question is I see the Gigabyte board as a 12+1 digital phase VRM solution as opposed to Asus's board which has an 8 twin phase solution [does this mean it has 16?]

On Newegg it says "8 twin power phase solution" - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813119151&ignorebbr=1
Any help and such is much appreciated! Thanks!
