    ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac

    1. The F-Stream program does not contain any Fatal1ty mouse port settings. I think it must've used to, but it doesn't now. And AsRock obviously haven't updated their advertising to reflect this. The only way I know of is to download the ASRock App Shop and install the Fatal1ty Mouse Port program...

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    It's unfortunate to hear a number people having problems with the AsRock Z170 Gaming-ITX wifi connector. What the hell are ASRock workers doing when they pack the board?? I ordered this board from NewEgg and had it shipped to Australia, and mine was ok. I haven't had any issues with my...

    I didn't manually change anything. All I did was hit the button to enable the 2666 profile for the ram. I'm not at home atm, so can't check the actual setting.

    Here's a screenshot of my H/W Monitor (ASRock Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac). Using 2x16GB 2666 Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM. The only change I've made is to enable the 2666 profile (after first inserting the RAM it defaults to 2133):

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    ok, after a total reinstall, I've solved the problem. I'll go into detail below because this may help others. I did disable CSM (compatibility support module), but my system refused to boot like SHwoKing said. Luckily, my system went straight to BIOS instead of a black screen. I realised my SSD...

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    Thank you for the heads up. Yeah although I'm coming from a 7200rpm, this is my first SSD. It's definitely faster, but I was expecting more.. :) Although as I mentioned, I haven't done a whole lot aside from install programs. So my experience is a bit limited for now. I had the same...

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    I wanted to mention a successful build with an ASRock Z170 Gaming ITX/ac and Samsung 950 Pro 256GB. I got 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance 2666 and I was concerned about the factory BIOS recognizing them. However, the RAM was recognized fine, and I was able to update to the latest BIOS via USB stick...

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    Anyone who's bought the AsRock Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac, do you remember which bios version it came with? I'm a bit concerned my ram won't work with the earlier bios version.

    Maybe it's your ram? Is your ram on their compatibility list? I'm pretty sure there's no onboard speaker, so you wouldn't hear beeps anyway. Or if you have an old case with a speaker you could plug the wire in.

    What do you think the chances are of these ITX boards supporting the Samsung 950 Pro M.2 out of the box? I'm looking at getting the Gigabyte Z170N WiFi. The compatibility list shows it's fine with the Samsung 951, but doesn't mention the 950 Pro yet, likely because it's so new.

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    Yeah I've been waiting for it to arrive and it's still not even listed on any websites as pre-order. I'm actually thinking of just going with the Gigabyte Z170N-WIFI. The only drawback is the lack of USB 3.1, but it does have USB C. I can't imagine having/needing a USB 3.1 device in the next...

    lol wut I feel like giving Asus one of those "I ran in a race" ribbons that they give all the kids that come last.

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    well...I like the modern back panel, with the lack of relics like VGA and PS2. And it's got a sufficient number of USB ports without going overboard, including both USB 3.1 A and C. Don't know about that ExtremeFX. Isn't it just a decked-out ALC1150? The AsRock has that anyway, along with the...

    ASUS PB258Q Frameless 25" WQHD IPS Monitor

    Well to answer my own question, the "flicker-free" feature on the Asus seems to be the result of a lack of 'pulse width modulation', and according to TFT Central the Dell also discards PWM for a flicker-free experience. As for low blue light, it seems this is no different than adjusting the...
