Red Motherboard

[Tomthedrum]

I am building a new PC and I am looking for a red/black motherboard.  The CPU I use is a 4790k. The Mobo should have a IO cover (the thing over the connectors, like the z170 deluxe) Do you guys have any recommendations?

I know Gigabyte and Asus make excellent Motherboards  Do you have any specific models?

I'm not sure if anything but the ASUS armor boards have something cover the rear IO in the Z97 line-up, and they come in either grey or a tan-ish color.

MSI is quite good

Pretty sure all motherboards come with an IO cover... In fact, I'd be most impressed if you found one that didn't.

Would it be easier if I would go with skylake? I was thinking about the z170a gaming m7

it seems fine to me but the socket on it is LGA1151? and your cpu socket is LGA-1150?

I/O shield and I/O cover are two separate things

Shield is the one you attach to the case, whereas the cover is attached to the motherboard for aesthetics reasons.
