As you can probably tell from my signature, I moved from a Haswell Refresh build to a Skylake build after thirty days from building my PC. The problem is that it's not functional yet as I don't have the MOBO: an ASUS Z170i Pro Gaming. Why don't I have it? Because it's not for sale yet despite it being listed on PCPartPicker. Does anyone know if and/or when it will be going to retail? I've seen it in a video build log from one of ASUS's YouTube channels, but I can't find the board. 

 

 

Any help is appreciated.

Poking JJ on Twitter would likely yield better results than asking here. @ASUSTechMKTJJ

You know, I actually don't have a Twitter. I don't know why I don't, but I don't.

Not the right color scheme.

It doesn't make that much of a difference, I mean it's all black VS black and red. Sleeved cables can help and the RAM will add to the effect. Depending on the case, they should look almost identical (matching-wise) in your build. 

 

I prefer the ASUS BIOS by a long shot. I had a couple of weeks to play around with the ASUS MAXIMUS VII IMPACT and I loved the BIOS.

Take some tinfoil tape and spraypaint it. Cut it using a blade and adhere it to things for red accents.

 

How about no?

How about no?

I have done it before, it looks pretty good. I will probably do it on my PC for a backplate on my GPU, if I ever buy a backplate.

I don't have particularly steady hands.
