Hi! I am going to build mini-itx hackintosh and stuck with two options:
1. Consumer setup with ga-h170n-wifi with i7 6700 - obviously no overclocking features.
2. Entusiast setup with ga-z170n-gaming5 with i7 6700k - higher processor speed from the box and OC capabilities.
For me the only difference is overclocking options. Or am I missing something? In overall cost it is huge difference for the budget considering future changes.
I already have gtx1060 6gb graphics - impulse purchased, so now I wait for drivers, but at first I am going to use gtx750ti
So my questions is:
1. Is it worth to buy OC-capable mobo and cpu? Or is it waist of money as soon as hackintosh will be unstable when overclocked?
2. I am going to change mb when thunderbolt-enabled one will be available in mini-itx format. So price-wise will z170 cost something more than h170 on aftermarket?
What do you think?
