6th gen Intel CPU compatible motherboard recommendations
I own a spare Core i5-6500 processor, a GTX 660 graphics card, M.2 SSD drives, and a PCIe wireless card. I'm wondering if an ITX motherboard would work for all of these components or if a smaller option is better. We might skip the wireless card if the motherboard supports it. I'm not familiar with current availability (I know older 6th-gen CPUs are outdated) but I'm open to suggestions.
I would try this option. It's a great deal for a high-end motherboard. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813132967...iption=ROG Z270 wifi&cm_re=ROG_Z270_wifi-_-13-132-967-_-Product&quicklink=true
It seems this setup is already optimized for water cooling. No worries, just confirming it works as intended. Let me know if you need further adjustments!
I believe the board works well without it. It might be necessary to remove the VRMs, which is something to keep in mind. Great board overall. Due to the Wi-Fi request, your options are limited. MSI Z270 gaming Wi-Fi Asus Strix Z270g Gaming Wi-Fi Gigabyte GA-270N Wi-Fi
I recently checked pcpartpicker and found no suitable options under three dollars. It seems I might need to reconsider or sell my components.
