good board?

[Brado78]

Hello, Does anybody use this particular motherboard? If so how is it?
ASUS H110M-C D3 LGA 1151 Intel H110 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 uATX Intel Motherboard

Thanks, Brad

ASUS generally makes good stuff. This is a non-overclocking straightforward board that supports the newest Skylake processors (LGA 1151) so be sure that you're buying the right type of CPU to go with it. I personally would spend a little more for a H170 board for a variety of reasons. I have the ASUS H170 PRO GAMING and it has been rock solid for me.

nerp - the guide that comes with the H170 Pro Gaming board says to use eight screws in the circled holes shown in the diagram to secure the board to the chassis. The diagram only shows six circled holes so I asked ASUS tech support to clarify. Their response was to use Eight but were not to clear on what holes. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks. Peter

I am not nerp but...

I would use all 9 of them if you have the stand offs for them. Otherwise I would skip the middle bottom one as it is the least likely spot to have pressure applied to it (as in no slots for memory/video card etc).
