So, went over about a dozen of reviews of the Z170, and some comparisons of him and the H170.
So far I've came to the conclusion that spending almost double the price for Z170 is not worth it if you do not intend to OC or use a dual GPU (or just a-lot of PCIe cards) nor you need the extra USB slots or the better sound card etc etc.. - Just a standard I5-5600 with a GTX-1060 6GB 16GB ram.
However, I've seen some mentions here and there about a better LAN hardware and reduced latency on the Z170 (e.g https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z170-A/), but the official comparisons neglect to mention that aspect.
Does that really make any difference? if so, any info about hard numbers/actual improvement?
Any info about better LAN in MB's will be welcome (Not only the Z170)
Thx alot - Avi.
