You're looking at the Z170N-WIFI, this is the Z170N-Gaming 5
Cheapest for the Z170N-Gaming 5 I can see is $248 @ Greenbox or $259 @ Umart/IJK
If you are referring to the GIGABYTE GA-Z170N-WIFI then it is different.
Ahhh, I stand corrected :)
Thanks guys, hehe
good find!
Gigabyte's MB are miles behind other brands in terms of BIOS interface..
I'd say anything that still uses BIOS, rather than UEFI, is way behind. It ain't the 1970s any more.
I was a bit surprised when the UEFI interface of my brand new Gigabyte H110 motherboard was a bit more basic compared to my Asrock Z68 board from 2014.
e.g this

BIOS/UEFI interface? I can't believe that we are having this discussion. Who cares unless there was a serious design deficiency that causes a loss of functionality. I would be more worried about Gigabyte's renounced lack of support/RMA when you are buying from an overseas retailer who won't handle it for you.
Is it compatible with xpenology ? I always want to build a powerful NAS
Seems expensive to build a NAS on this platform, have you thought about a HP MicroServer Gen8?
NAS with i3 to i7 is easily cost $1500 to $3000. QNap TVS-471, Synology DS3615xs.
Build your own hardware and load xpenology on it is just a fraction of the cost.
After tested xpenology, I love the Synology and QNAP NAS firmware. I decided to get a real QNap i3 NAS and upgrade it to i7 myself.
So tempting, do you have to ship back to the states for warranty? Or is there a local place?
Am I missing something? this is $206 at MSY?
