I'm about to build a new 6700 Skylake system, and it's been a while since I've built a box from scratch. I'm thinking the ASUS Maximus VIII line, but their higher end boards are more than I need. Would anyone mind giving me their thoughts based on my criteria?
Thanks for your feedback.
- Most dedicated lanes to support an M.2 drive...I want a Z170 MoBo that supports the fastest OS drive possible.
- I have no desire to overclock, so overclocking is optional.
- Must have integrated graphics...my IP camera software leverages the Intel hardware acceleration.
- Lots of USB 3 ports.
- If the mini iTX board sports as much bandwidth as a larger board for the M.2 drive, I have not been able top determine so on my own.; but I'm fine with any size board.
- I'm not playing games...not that I wouldn't but I don't have time these days.
Thanks for your feedback.
