LGA775 DDR3 Motherboards.

I'm currently trying something new with a second gaming computer build. I have an e5450 processor that I have modded to be compatible with the LGA775 motherboard socket despite this processor being an LGA771 socket processor. 

 

I have an old LGA775 but it is not a good motherboard. Everything is slow and old and my main problem is that it has only two slots for DDR2 ram. 

 

What I'm wondering is, are there any consumer PCs built with an LGA775 that support DDR3 1300mhz or more?

 

All of these motherboards online are $75+ after shipping and I think it would be more fun and a better deal if I can look for a specific tower. 

 

Thanks

-Carter

This is not a good alternative. $500 for the motherboards on Amazon. They sell on eBay for a lot less but still a substantial amount. 

Your not gonna get a old highend board cheap. Your much better buying a core i3 or pentium. There much faster, lowerpower.

Ya, I don't assume il be able to either. I am just wondering if there were any towers that were mass produced with one of these motherboards. 

 

That way I could pickup the whole tower at hopefully a lower cost.

There was a huge amount of DDR3 boards released in the last year or two of the Core 2 lifespan from all major manufacturers. Previous comments are correct, finding them on eBay or Amazon will be expensive. Your best bet is to use classifieds and sites like Craigslist to source parts and of course there is always the flea markets; thrift stores and pawn shops to check out too. 

 

Lots of good nForce 700 series boards came from manufacturers like XFX and EVGA while Asus and Gigabyte put out a lot of solid Intel P45 based boards. Good luck!

RGB everywhere.

Thank you. Do you know of a way I can get specific names of these manufactured computers? Websites I can filter by year or something of the sort.

ddr3 really isnt any faster then ddr2 for 775, my ddr2 does 1300mhz with some chips and just over 1200mhz with all my chips at way tighter timings then ddr3. 

Rig Specs:

AMD Threadripper 5990WX@4.8Ghz

Asus Zenith III Extreme

Asrock OC Formula 7970XTX Quadfire

G.Skill Ripheartout X OC 7000Mhz C28 DDR5 4X16GB

A ddr3 board with support for the 775 to 771 mod would leave you with the p45, or g41 chipsets, that isn't an intel board.

They will be pretty expensize because of people this same mod for several years now, the prices of the e5450s have also jumped up a lot too.

 

Look up the motherboard specifications for the lga 771 mod there are a lot of restrictions about the fsb, and what chips can work in a specific board. 

 

A Sandybridge i3, or i5, or even a nehalem i5/i7 would most likely be cheaper and perform better.

Search for nForce 790i and 750i, that will bring up the nVidia chipset powered boards like the EVGA 790i FTW. Intel's P45 is a lot more widespread so some off the top of my head that I've used personally are the ECS P45T-AD3; Asus P5Q3; Gigabyte P45-T-ES3G (Gigabyte DDR3 boards are very uncommon, I've encountered only one) and the MSI P45-C51. 

 

Most are uncommon at best but I've seen the ECS boards pop up here and there the last year or two.

Ya, I know, but if I could get a DDR3 supporting 1600, that would be ideal. Ddr2 is a lot harder to find at a good price and I've already got 8G of DDR3 1600 laying around.

But a ddr2 board is cheaper so wither you have cheaper ram or a cheaper board. I think ram sticks are Cheaper than boards.

It would probabbly be cheaper to get a sandybridge i3/i5 and a h61 board, or a nehalem i5/i7, and a 1155 board. A good 775 board with ddr3 support and support for the 775 to 771 mod is going to be about $50-$75USD used.
