Specific motherboard need

Sorry about this, the PC part search engine I've been using to filter by features has essentially asploded, so I need some help.

 

I'm looking for:

 

  • MicroATX form factor
  • At least one M.2 drive slot (x4)
  • Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (in length, could be wired x8) - Note: They MUST be number 1 and number 3 slots from the top, NOT number 1 and number 4 from the top. (Gap of one slot between them, not two)
  • At least 6 normal SATA III ports.
  • Decent VRM, 8-phase or better
  • Not red and black or blue and black.

Could be X99 or Z170

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

i dont think 8 Phase avaliable on mATX, get Maximus VII Gene Z97

 

I have 10 phases on my current ITX board...

I've seen plenty of 8-phase mATX boards before, and the ASUS Maximus VIII Gene for Z170 does have 8-phase VRM, though I do not want a red and black board so it's out of the question.

I'm pretty sure the Max. VIII Gene is the only one. admittedly it's red and grey, but there isn't too much red on it.

Apparently the M.2 slot has to be 2280 length, so I guess I'm stuck with the EVGA X99 Micro2. Heh, I keep falling back on this board. Guess it's time to accept my fate :P

Thanks everyone
