Gigabyte's brand new 100 Series Z170X-UD5-TH and Z170X-SOC-FORCE are two boards we've really had our eye on for the LGA 1151 platform. The Z170X-SOC-FORCE is full of features for the overclocking enthusiast. The Z170X-UD5-TH is the first available with full Thunderbolt 3.0 and HDMI 2.0 certification, using Intel's Alpine Ridge controller. Each also has the new USB 3.1 10Gbps Type-C ports.
PLEASE NOTE: This hardware is cutting edge. It's brand new and DOES NOT work natively with OS X because Apple has not released any Macs with these chips yet. For fully compatible desktop hardware using 4th Generation Haswell CPUs and 5th Generation Broadwell CPUs with 9 Series motherboards, please see this month's CustoMac Buyer's Guide.
Here are some pics we took today. We'll be testing using these boards as well, so stay tuned for compatibility updates.
