Motherboard with USB type C?

[NonTechSavvySheep]

will I benefit more with the motherboard that has USB type C over Motherboard that has regular USB 3.0? what about the M.2 slot for WiFi

 

[13thmonkey]

why m.2 for wifi, m.2 for storage, pci-e for wifi.

 

[Mr Kagouris]

USB Type-C ports usually run either at 3.1 Gen1 or Gen2 which are faster than 3.0 (although good luck finding anything short of an external SSD that can leverage this). Speed-wise they offer nothing over the Type-A 3.1 ports motherboards usually have, but they do have a reversible connector and in some motherboards also support Thunderbolt 3.

As for WiFi, I'd recommend getting a PCIe x1 WiFi card instead of an M.2 one.

So you say that I will benefit nothing from USB C? I haven't found typical use case with USB C

USB-C may go down the way of scsi, firewire, thunderbolt, betamax.

Well, in that case I would just stick with mobo without usb c. I don't think i will use FireWire port or thunderbolt. It is for mac right. Okay, I can cut cost with it. Anyway, do you know any consumer motherboard that support xeon skylake? If i use xeon, I will choose the one that performs like i7 6700

Not exactly sure what you mean by "the way of thunderbolt". Thunderbolt doesn't have widespread popularity because there's just not that many things you can do with it. There's a few thunderbolt displays and external drives, but nothing else. Thunderbolt hasn't had a chance to fail. USB Type-C is a USB port with a reversible connector, something that we have wanted for more than a decade. The only reason it's not more widespread right now is that A) it's new and B) the transition will take time.

Absolutely, and it has future proof levels of bandwidth and power delivery, something has to be capable of doing that and the only game in town is USB C for both, thunderbolt only does high bandwidth and not high power. TB has issues with licensing too?

So when will the USB tpe C port become mainstream? if it is within a year or two, I will get motherboard with USB type C. if it become mainstream in the next five years, then I will just get the mobo without USB type C

Get what works for you, you can always get a PCI-E USB c card.

The point above is very very pertinent however, USB c can run at 10 or 5 Gbps. Only newer NVMe SSDs can saturate that, and how often will it be needed for you to transfer that much data whilst under a time pressure.

The additional power that they can deliver on a laptop enables all sorts of benefits, on a desktop it delivers nothing that a charger can't.

USB 3.1 is good enough.

I haven't decided yet. maybe you can compare the specs between two, the grenade has usb C in the back

No point getting a board with USB Type-C right now without it being mainstream. If it becomes mainstream you'll be able to buy add-in cards for it (there already are a few USB Type-C cards and some Thunderbolt over USB Type-C cards on the market).

Thanks, the price different is small though. I will do my first build at 20th or 26th december
