Asrock KabyLake motherboards (Updated)

[NumLock21]

Asrock motherboards for Intel Kaby Lake processors that runs on socket 1151, same as current Skylake but with a brand new chipset. The boards still comes with your typical gigabit lan, onboard audio, video outputs, USBs, etc.  And most importantly Aura RGB lighting!  Some models will have more power phases like 12 compare to the rest, support for SLI, CFX, and memory can reach up to DDR4 3866 (oc).

What's the 27 stands for btw

Looks good I guess... so everyone got metal reinforced PCI-e now? Why?

[MageTank]

Yay... more tacky RGB lights. I suppose asking for a decent looking board, with a diffused white LED is too much to ask for these days?

[Clanscorpia]

omfg that looks amazing

I really like how asrock is putting the intel on the I/O shields now, it looks good and doesn't scream gamer, extreme, or something of the sort. I like having the nice looking plastic shields on the MOBO without a lot of junk all over them. It gives off a nice premium look while retaining class and sophistication.

marketing. that's why. supposedly its supposed to help with gpu sag. which is almost understandable with the galax HOF cards or any 3 slot card. but otherwise...marketing.

seriously tho. preach it. I don't want a mobo for all my autoCad work that has "extreme gamer yoloswag 420 mountain dew 360 noscope" all over it.
also the I/o is really nice, maybe a bios switch and a usb 2.0 or 2 on the back but otherwise its perfect imo.

I guess it's nice to see 5Gbit Ethernet in a mainstream board, although I'm not sure how many people it will make a difference for.

If i have an ASUS z-170-a motherboard, is there any reason to upgrade the motherboard if i'm planning on picking the 7700k when it comes out? I just game btw.

Nope. It will all be compatible. Aesthetic and maybe some extra fancy ports

Slot bend and breakage from super heavy cards like the 295x2.

AsRock, the last bastion of acceptable-looking Intel motherboards have fallen.

Good thing I'm going AMD next.

There is still EVGA. May they forever stay true!

What's unfortunate about EVGA is they love the obsolete E-ATX standard for space-wasting cases.

TBF Asus might not like you to buy the cheaper ones but the more subdued ones that are not the stupid "MAXIMUS GLORIA PERPETUA MMIX!!" ones look quite nice.

I wouldn't call it obsolete, plenty of my friends use the Classified boards as they help bridge the consumer platform with workstation features (PLX bridge, plethora of PCIE slots, etc). Though, I agree, they need to show the ATX/mATX market more love. The FTW lineup is very stale, with nothing in between that large price window, and the Stinger board just sucks compared to other ITX boards, because of their M.2 implementation (vertical, instead of laying flat on the board, meaning an 2280 SSD would require an 80mm thick case at minimum).

 

Just aesthetically speaking, EVGA at least keeps it professional. Flat black/gray, with no tacky RGB's. Means you can add any other piece of hardware, and have it match without having poor accent colors.

Why the frack is dsub vga still a thing? DVI replaced it in 1999, and DVI is obsolete now replaced by DisplayPort. It's like putting a floppydrive in a PC today. Makes no sense.
