Good deal even without the cooler. Using this Mobo with the 6700k, I've had no problems with it. :smiley:

Really good deal but I would sell the cooler for £20 and buy a aio. My 6700k runs at 4.8ghz all day long

I got one of these boards from Amazon yesterday.. was warped to hell, went straight back... could they be trying to get rid of their old bendy stock?

It's just because the Z270 boards are out now. I noticed mine was warped but apparently that is normal anyway and once bolted down it's fine. If you think about it, it's huge surface area on thin fibreglass

Not sure what the stackup is whilst making these boards but warping can come from either/both an unsymmetrical build and the components on it, so long as the stress screwing it down flat doesn't cause any damage, the warping is fine

Banned!? That will teach him for having an opinion!

yes that's correct an unsymmetrical build would cause warping but I would have thought this would e designed correctly to avoid this and warping is not really seen to much , and the boards would not pass certain QA criteria if the warp is over a certain amount so it could have happened during assembly , but you would be surprised how much you can bend a board and it would still be fine .

Does this board support SLI?

Only crossfire according to the spec list on the site.

Have built many PCs (since 8086 days) and never seen a warped motherboard. Don't use it, send it right back, lest you be blamed for warping due to misinstallation should it fail later on.
Edit: just googled and found many pics of warped motherboards; am surprised this is a thing but I would never accept one.
