Here’s a Z170 motherboard you’d want to consider when upgrading to Skylake.
Other features include a BIOS debug LED and a new ethernet controller from Realtek. The Dragon 8118AS is Realtek’s answer to Killer NIC which so many gaming motherboards come with. It can be argued that Killer’s software suite does more harm than good so getting a similar feature set from Realtek is good since competition improves product quality for the consumer. The Z170 Claymore does not come with USB Type-C but instead has two USB 3.1 Type A ports. We’d like to believe two is better than one, so we’re more in favour of this design. Also, most phones that have USB Type-C have a Type-A connector at the other end, so this setup is more useful.
