Motherboard Recommendations for Skylake processor?

[danmanca]

My motherboard died and I need a replacement. I have an i7 Skylake K series processor so I am interested in overclocking.I'm also running a GTX 1080 Video card have one m2 drive.

Looking for a good mid range motherboard what does everyone recommend? I've been looking at ASRock, Asus, and MSI.

While I'm not an overclocker, I never had any issues with the ASRock motherboard I've brought. Of course its only two of them but...

Just be sure it is either Z170 or Z270, as the other 1151 chipsets don't support OC. I have heard good things about Asus and Asrock for those series. As for particular models, I am not sure.

This is my personal favorite Z270 motherboard:

I thought that you would say "SuperCarrier".

Cool thats one of the ones I was looking at how does that one compare to this? https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z270 Killer SLIac/index.asp the 270 Killer? Is it only the Wireless AC built in? The suepercarrier looks nice but I was looking to spend a little bit less.

The ASrock Extreme4 that i linked has higher power phase, much beefier heatsinks, far better Realtek 1220 audio, and no wireless.

I'd spend the little extra and go with that over the Killer SLI board, but that isn't a bad board either.

I really like the FTWK and Supermicro. The Strix gave me some problems and no clue how anyone likes that UEFI and interface.

Asrock always had some trickery with Power Delivery. Asus and just about everybody else really likes Doublers, But now that's not even really needed probably.
