I'm thinking of buying a matx mb.
I have an i7 7700k and don't need the oc capability and sli of my current z170 atx mb, i still play games i can't use with 2 cards.
Another reason is that more cases supports matx than atx and in a smaller case the case fans are closer to the cpu,gpu, should in theory cool them better than in a big case at the same rpm. For a start i could use my current define r5 case until a find a more exciting case with better airflow.
If that maske any sense.
I have a Noctua NH-D15 and as i read (in the noctua mb combatibility list) about more and more matx mb's that doesn't support such a huge cpu cooler, i need to downgrade my cpu cooler in size if i want a matx mb.
My biggest problem is that i don't want a noisy cooler, bnut i don't need a to oc my i7 7700k (atm 1.135volt).
So not to spend a furtune on a cooler, what can you recommend?
