Go to solution Solved by The Official Czex,

Evga z170 Stinger or asus z170i pro gaming whenever it gets released, iv never built with mini itx before so its all new to me. It will be for a gaming build and will be overclocked im just tired of carrying around a huge case everywhere.

 

I prefer ASUS MOBOs due to their awesome BIOS layout and ease of OCing.

Mine never gets a stable OC with the built in utility thing. 

 

The X99 Pro isn't really OC friendly, despite being on the X99 chipset. My Z97 ASUS MOBO does an excellent job especially for its form factor. I'd assume the Z170 board will do just as well or even better.
