help choosing mobo for 6700k
Hi everyone, I'm upgrading my PC from a mid-tower to an SFF design. I need a motherboard that accommodates a micro ATX case like the Corsair 280x. Since I'm not planning to overclock, I won't need a Z170 chipset. I don't require built-in Wi-Fi, but I want M.2 slots for my NVMe drive. I've checked the first link you shared and the second one, but I'm looking for alternatives if these don't fit. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Finding new motherboards for older hardware is tough due to high costs. eBay offers the best deals, especially for your 6700K setup—consider a Z170 or Z270 to get faster RAM and overclocking capabilities.
I’d check eBay and grab a used one, you might find a Z170 or Z270 at a reasonable price.
Lower-end boards such as B150 and H110 lack XMP profiles for those high speeds. Typically they cap at around 2666, with the standard "high" performance being about 2400. These were among the first consumer boards using DDR4 technology.
