I was wondering if anybody knew the exact type of slot the mini pci-e wifi slot is on the ASROCK z170 OC Formula. I'm trying to figure out which wifi modules are compatible with it. I found these two and was wondering if they are compatible:

Intel 8260:

Intel 7260:

appreciate any advice, thanks.

Just wanted to bump this. Was also wondering if the 8260 wifi card will work in the M2 slots. The 8260 indicates it is A&E key, not sure the m2 slots on the z170 OC Formula will accomodate...
