Need suggestions for matt black Z270 or Z170 motherboards with an IO cover

[BucketInABucket]

I already know of these offerings:

MSI Z270 SLI
MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
Gigabyte Z270X Ultra Gaming
Gigabyte Z270X Gaming K5
Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 8
EVGA Z270 FTW K
EVGA Z270 Classified K

Did I miss any? Also, apart from the EVGA offerings, are there any Z170 motherboards with a matt black theme and IO cover? They need to support SLI too.

I wouldn't normally give suggestions for parts. Cause i know that most people don't agree with the parts i like also i don't expect people do.

I would say EVGA but i'm a EVGA fan boy.

If you can afford it get the EVGA Z270 Classified K, Also to me why i also pick the EVGA over anything else cause the EVGA has no RGB on the motherboard.

But at the end of the day it's up to you.

It's on the list already, I'm looking for any more options before I start to think about which one I'm going for...if there are any other options. I don't care much for LEDs either as I have a specific plan for them, I just want an IO shield so the board melts into the background more.

You sure you want Intel?

With Ryzen so close to being released(like 8 days) I would just wait it out and see.

Already have a 6700k and don't need a performance gain.

To answer your question.

I don't know if there are any more all black motherboards apart from the ones you have listed.

 

[BucketInABucket]

Damn...feels bad as none of them really fit what I want in a motherboard...

I'm in exactly the same boat as you.

Any reason you've not included the MSI Gaming M5/M7 and the Asus ROG Strix/Maximus?
They're the ones I'm looking at.

They all have grey heatsinks and I ideally want a matt black theme.

Take a Maximus and paint the HS/"armor"...

They all have grey heatsinks and I ideally want a matt black theme.

I think the grey and the black together look better than other offerings like the Gaming Pro Carbon for this theme.

Currently still debataing myself, plus it comes down to how well to manage the cables from an AIO cooler.

I put together this comparison for myself featuring some of your boards too:

I've actually decided to get a micro atx board instead and the only one available is the Gigabyte Z270MX Gaming 5.
