I am looking for the most OOBE z390 or Z370 MB (if 9700k is compatible) to have the least issue on unibeast install? Preferably with wifi-Bluetooth, although I do I have a DW1820A wifi/bluetooth card still if needed. Even if I need to buy a PCIe x1 card/adaptor for it.

I know in the past, the Gigabyte boards have been the most compatible and easiest to setup. But which one? There are so many to choose from.

Thanks for any help.

My choice is the Gigabyte Designare and @CaseySJ's guide for the Z390 version.

z370 could require a bios update for 9700k, stick with z390 for better overclocking/compatibility and onboard TB3. z390 Gigabyte Designare is a good choice and has an extensive guide and is well maintained. However, you will need PCI-E wifi and BT Fenvi HB1200M is one of the better no-nonsense cards.
