Have you found any Skylake based motherboards that are?

The thing that i am missing is the RAID performance of this motherboard. Cause it is capable of RAID 0 through the PCI-Express slots. This feature makes the deluxe a more viable product than the other ASUS Z170 motherboards. You could put a PCI-Express M2 SSD into the PCI-EXpress slot (by use of a PCI-Express adapter) (i hope it's ok that i stole a picture from another website , couldn't find one this quick on guru3d website) http://www.overclock3d.net/gfx/articles/2015/05/01081817334l.JPG And put the another one into the M2 slot. Thus creating a RAID 0 setup. :cheers: I've included the passage from the asus site below:
*1: The PCIe x16_3 slot shares bandwidth with SATA6G_56. The PCIe x16_3 is default set at x2 mode. Supports Intel® RST for PCIE RAID storage. *2: The M.2 socket shares SATA ports with SATA Express. Adjust BIOS settings to use an M.2 SATA device. *3: Supports PCIE RAID configurations via onboard M.2 and PCIEX16_3 slot storages.

Asus has confirmed this MB is in compliance with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. The only MB I know of that is!
