I'm looking for a plain Micro ATX LGA 1151 mobo with dual full length double spaced slots. Don't need/want RGB, Wifi or any of that. Just need build it Ethernet and HDMI.
The Asus ROG STRIX Z270G GAMING is physically great, but comes with all the crap that I don't need/want.
It will be going in a ThermalTake cube with a pair of water blocked RX480's to make a quiet mining rig / heater for the bedroom this coming winter. I have a Swifttech dual bridge block with a 1.6" pitch, which means I need a MATX board with full length PCIe slots, double spaced.
I want to spend less than $100 and the cheapest I see that Asus Z270 board for on eBay is like twice that. I mean, Z270 came out like in early 2017 as I recall, so boards based on that chipset should be dirt cheap by now, but I guess not!
It seems that triple spaced dual full length PCIe slot MATX boards are a dime a dozen, but double spaced, not so much.
