Just a quick one..

I'm interested in the above motherboard for my upcoming skylake matx build but can't find any reviews anywhere!? Is it too new?

Anyone have any experience with this board?

Any reason I should choose one of the other boards at this price level (around £100) like the asus or gigabyte in the ocuk store?

Thanks
 
I have this board with a 6700k- running at 4.2GHZ stable as with temps around 28c under watercooled
Only issue was the Ethernet driver dropped out for a few days then returned as if by magic.

So seems like it's an ok overclocker? Don't have any idea what the 6700k should be able to hit? Wait.. I'll google it ;)

Does this board fit 2280 M.2 SSDs? It looks as if it doesn't.

From what I have managed to find apparently not, just supports a wifi card. This may be the deal breaker for me as really want that upgrade path for the future. Such a great looking board though at a great price... Damn

This isn't great by any stretch, shame really as I'd happily lose that extra PCIe port in favour of support for bigger M.2 SSDs

It's a shame MSI or ASRock haven't released a mATX equivalent board to rival the Asus Gene VIII or the Gigabyte Gaming.
