hello everyone i am sorry if this is in the wrong spot but  i am new to unraid and am very interested in building a box but from looking around the forums i have noticed that the realtek lan chipset can /has caused some issues .so i am more leaning towards a intel lan chipset on board so i was wondering what motherboard the community would suggest i look into that would give me a easier build.i am looking for 6-8 onboard sata ports i am looking for more of a budget build so i am not looking for server class boards. my budget for a board is around 150 dollars Canadian. any suggestions would be greatly helpful

i have rebuilt my unraid rig about 4 times in the last year!!

I just moved to an x99 board (asrock x99m killer) i got it off ebay for £140 (UK). Its great as is micro atx and has 10 onboard sata ports  and 2 gigabit lan ports. Very happy with it

Socket?

X99 chipset.  Socket 2011-3

X99 chipset.  Socket 2011-3
