Found an i7 in my stores, but dont have a suitable motherboard - anyone have one they'd let go for fair price or swap for 1155 motherboard with CPU ? :D

Last time I needed an old board (1151), I ended up going and finding a cheap fella on ebay. Might be your best bet.

What model i7?

And what cpu and board do you have to swap?




Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

People overvalue them for old junk. I got one off aliexpress when I had some old ram and a CPU and it worked great for 6 months or so.

I have an Asus P8Z77-V PRO that you are welcome to have free of charge, the only problem is I suspect there's something wrong with it as it doesn't power on for more than a couple seconds. I don't know if it's the mother board, CPU or the RAM being at fault, but I strongly suspect the mother board. If you want, you are welcome to take the whole lot (motherboard, CPU and RAM).

CYaBro: What model i7?

Its an i7 4790 - came from a dead system I was given to work on - so Im hoping it still works but 9/10 CPUs survive whatever has killed the rest of the system.

 

Board and CPU is what I currently use, think its a i5 3xxx ....... so going to i7 4th gen be a nice little boost for me.

The Z77 board will only work on 2nd/3rd gen CPU's, thus your existing CPU will work on the board





Linux Mint 19.3 (Yes upgrade is overdue)  with ZFS and multiple replicating XigmaNas servers (BSD with ZFS) for storage, all connected via Mikrotik Routerboard (firewall) to a Huawei 618 for Spark Wireless Broadband...
