Best LGA1151 Mini-ITX motherboard for I7 6700k?

czglory · Feb 11, 2016

I don't think I need the fanciest of motherboards; but I would like DDR4 support, good build quality, and most important would be audio and internet connections as stable as possible. I am not sure if any mobos offer superior LAN/wifi connections compared to others, but that would be a huge plus if this is the case.Currently considering MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC LGA1151 as the frontrunner. Any other alternatives that offer these features for a better value or offer superior form in some way?

Hi, you can't put that I7 into 1151 chip, you have to get the Skylake one

You need a 1155 board for Ivy Bridge.

3770K requires a lga1155 motherboard.

For the most part, performance with ddr3 and ddr4 is not much different.

What do you have now, and what are you trying to accomplish?

oops, sorry I put a typo in there, 6700k was the processor I meant to ask about.

Its anI7 6700k, just a typo before (my old processor is I7 3770k). I am deciding between Asus Pro gaming and MSI Gaming pro AC, MSI is slightly cheaper, which is the better board?
