I'm after a mini-itx motherboard, that has/doesn't have the following features:

LGA1151 Socket
DDR3 or 4 doesn't matter to me
No Wifi (I never use wireless internet myself anyway, just wired network)
At least 2 PWM fan headers - excluding the CPU fan header 2 system fan headers as more than one would be nice to monitor fan rpm, and have more control over fans rather than plugging them directly into the PSU. The case I will get supports two 80mm fans and a front 120mm fan, I want to use the 80mms as exhaust fans and a 120mm fan in the front as intake, I can run both the back 80mm fans off a pwm splitter as they are the same fan, but the front will be different as it is a bigger fan and will run at different rpms etc...
2 ram slots

The price range I am looking for is something below £90, but I could probably go to about £100 if needed.

A lot of M-ITX motherboards are including wireless adapters so I think it would be better to just accept that fact so that you would have more options. And also, not a lit of motherboards have multiple Fan headers. What I would recommend is getting a fan hub instead. Most modern motherboards feature a Fan control in the BIOS. 4 pin fan headers are not the only way to get ur fans to quieten when idle.

A budget option would be the MSI B150i Gaming AC, and a cheap fan hub from any decent brand. NZXT has some fancy ones that feature some useless stuff sp i recommend any cheap fan hub. I got a cheap deecool one for like $15. It has 4 x4 pin headers.
