Considering how long the processors history is it appears that all the boards currently out have massive amount of reliability. You know because 2-3 weeks is a really good length of time to really get a good sense of that.

 

Edit: Sorry I should apologize. I shouldn't be a dick....

Whats the MOST RELIABLE skylake mobo for arounf $100 - $150

I'll go ahead and say that being an early adopter of new tech isn't going to get you stability. You should just use the older platform as the newer one doesn't really offer all that much. It was only an incremental update really and didn't really impact performance that much. If you want stability go with the x99 or something earlier.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

I like the look of the ASRock boards atm.

The Gigabyte boards also look good and in that price range you could get a UD3.

 

If looks aren't a factor you could also consider the Asus Z170-A (I say this because it has a brown PCB.)

Also the x99 platform is much more powerful.

Indeed, nothing can be said about the reliability of any Z170 boards yet.

Most reliable won't happen for at least a year.  Just go with a safe brand that you know has solid RMA and customer service.

My past few boards have been ASrock. Although ill be completely honest. Looking at moving to Skylake....looking at the boards on newegg.com

 

My decision is going to be based on price/rebate/coupon code/reviews and do i get free stuff with purchase. Like a Mouse or shirt or game  :-)
