Hello!
Just wondering if anyone knows of any green Z170 motherboards that you can actually buy? I've seen the Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z170 but it seems discontinued... o_O

Hello,

 

Are you looking for this? :P

https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR4-Motherboards-GA-G1-Sniper-B7/dp/B01AZQ3OC4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473678630&sr=8-2&keywords=G1+sniper+z170

 

Green+Black is a really hard theme to find for a motherboard, on pcpartpicker there are only two of them, one being the Gigabyte G1 Sniper and the other being some Supermicro board ( https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-DDR4-1151-Motherboard-C7Z170-OCE-O/dp/B01ARONDD4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1473678731&sr=1-1&keywords=supermicro+c7z170 , $275) Which is really badly reviewed.

 

If you are going with a black and white color theme, the next best option is probably to spray paint the plastic parts, however if you are uncomfortable with that, you can go with a full black motherboard.

That supermicro board has bad reviews because one didn't read the specs and the other one is a single board error.

Probably Should have went for an all black mobo and green components if he picked an nvidia theme. Only gigabyte sniper mobos and a few supermicros seem to have that color iirc.

May be true, but that board is also super overpriced for a Z170 board to the casual PC builder.

Before you go all out on buying this mobo for the color though, do take into account other features such as fan headers, and etc.

 

But its a Razer build so..

NO! STOP! DON'T BUY THE MOTHERBOARD! You asked for a Z170 Motherboard. The G1 Sniper B7 is a B150 Chipset.

That's why I break mine twice.

Woah. Didnt see that. My mistake.

 

In my defense though, that was the cheapest one that I saw when I searched for G1 Sniper Z170. The Actual Z170 one is here:
