Decent MicroATX Board? Skylake?

koolpc · 9 Dec 2015 at 12:31

Can anyone recommend a decent MicroATX Motherboard, Skylake. 1151. Under £100. Stable and reliable and DDR4. Ta

I am not sure any great Skylake Z170 MATX boards exist at this kinda price level.

In MATX I recommend ASUS Gene. Its rock solid clocks all memory IC well, CPU well and looks great.

No Overclocking will be done as it will be used with an i3 Skylake

MSI Mortar Z170 is mATX, this is one that I've been looking at. There's also a Gigabyte Gaming mATX Z170 board too.

I'm surprised that ASRock or MSI haven't produced a Skylake gaming mATX board yet.

Gigabyte one is quite expensive compared to the MSI. Is it possible to install a Wifi card in these boards? You know, like the ITX boards have?

ASUS Z170I PRO GAMING is another option, £130. [EDIT] oh nevermind that's mini-ITX. Sorry.

I have had good service from a number of ASRock motherboards, i have just purchased a Z170M Pro4S which i hope will perform as well as my other ASRock boards.

Is a z170 chipset really necessary for someone who wants an i3 with no overclocking? I feel like the much cheaper H110 would be more suited.

Greetings fellow 670 OC owner

Still impressed with this card years after buying it, amazing bang per buck.
