Does this board support 2560×1440 at 144Hz?
I’m getting the i5 6500 with 1x8GB DDR4 until I can afford another stick. I understand that a non K can be OC’ed using a z170 board. I am a bit of a noob at oc’ing, should I get this board (after installing the appropriate bios in order to OC non K) or should I just go with a non OC board. I currently have an amd fx8350 OC’ed to 4ghz with 16GB DDR3 ram and RX480 8GB GDDR5, will I see an improvement with an intel cpu?
can this motherboard connect to the wifi wirelessly? or do you need the Ethernet?
Very nice review! 🙂
Who do you think would live in a house like this?
where are the front panel connectors?
so you cant use a usb wired headset?
please do asrock k6 or extreme 6 review for skylake cpu ofc 🙂
What are you think is the best msi gaming m5 gigabyte ultra gaming or the asus z170 pro gaming
so… if I have an USB headphones which motherboard should I get?
I don’t have an optical drive so I cant download the drivers from the disc. What website would I need to go to for the drivers?
what headphones do you have in this video??
So, I have a question, it’s one of the few things I don’t know about mobas.
Can I put 2x8gb ddr4 3200mhz sticks in this motherboard instead of 16gb sticks?
is this still relevant in 2017 or should i look elsewhere?
do they have lights?
Can this handle 6700k and a 1080 gtx? i’m new to this and bought this motherboard.
i love the music. can u link me?
I went with my gut and paired the same CPU and motherboard. Felt real good when I saw this video and you paired the exact same combination! Now I just need to find the right RAM. I was thinking of getting a set of 8GB DDR4 RAM (16GB total so I can use a dual channel) with the ballistik covers from curcial from $107.
do i need to buy a WiFi thing
does this board support ddr3 ram????
From 0 to 10, how would you guys rate it?
Where do I find Realtek HD Audio manger? I have this motherboard, but not this software?
So… I recently bought an Unlocked Intel Core i5 Processor… Does this motherboard house this? If not, is there a good, decently priced gaming board for it?
Been my board for 5 months now absolute beast.
Does it have Wifi?
Wifi??
What is the license he talks about
can i use 64G of ram
I would give it 5 stars. The mayority of gamers use a USB mic. So i think they cheaped out on the mic amp on purpose 😉
Would you still buy this motherboard today if it was on sale for $109?
is the gaming M5 better than the M3? the specs look better but it is less money?
Tom Cruise?
will this board work with ddr3 ram
What Board should i get the MSI Z170A Gaming M5 or EVGA Z170 FTW?
Ha I noticed that when he put the heat sinks back on he put them on upside down
Hey guys just want to ask which is better, asus z170 pro gaming or the msi z170a gaming 5?.. they’re about the same price here in my country so im torn between the two… thanks for your time 🙂
how many usb ports does this have?
help me pls so i got that mobo and the system temp is 32-38celsius and the front 2 fans arent working but the back is ok.
did you have any problems with any popping sound with the realtek drivers like the Maximus 8 Hero? cause i’m torn between this motherboard and the Maximus 8 Hero but i heard many are having issues with the audio drivers, any suggestions on which should i buy??
SOOO GUYS! Big question here! im looking to upgrade, the m7 gets me wet, but the thing is, if i get an m5 i can buy a liquid cooler too seeing that its cheaper… i like to play games on high, but i am not a fan of overclocking… i would never boost and overclock my pc in any way… what do you reccomend?
Its a solid motherboard, there.
Would i be able to install an MSI R380 4G and also an Elgato Capture HD60 Pro onto this motherboard? Cheers
Can i put my msi gtx 1070 here?
Yes newbs, it will work with every single consumer graphic card solution.
