I heard a lot of good things about the MSI Game M5 so I bought 2 of them. Then can run 7 GPUs, just make sure you get a Skylark Intel CPU. They have a $30 rebate available, so  a great deal I think. Newegg has them on sale for the next 4hrs for 129, so only $100 after rebate (last day to buy for rebate I think). Amazon has them in stock june 4th, but can buy now and get rebate too.

This guy has some fun build videos, this one he uses the M5 and 7 GPUs.

I don't know anything about the Biostar.

My personal adventure is slightly unhappy for both, the  Z170A Gaming M5 is my fav, but it also ended in the same condition as the BIO.
I have very unstable electrical hookups from the meter.
It ended that I did resolve the issue by buying a huge UPS and putting it on my computer I work with and leaving the mining to the other people!
So if asked I did have a better result with the  Z170A Gaming M5.
