Does having a really expensive motherboard improve system performance (particularly in gaming) in any way?
Do the ones that are around the $300-400 range just have advanced overclocking and BIOS features?
No effect in performance.
Not even advanced features for overclocking.
Most of the time it’s just LED’s and “bling”.
Some higher end board have more power phases that can help stabilize an overclock but at this point it’s not as important as it was with say Haswell/ Devils canyon.
Some boards will have metal supports around the PCIe spots to help prevent GPU sag, but nothing really performance changing.
