Posted May 23, 2021 Preface: Used is absolutely fine. ________ I have a core i5-6500, and many sticks of DDR3. As well as several SSDs, and a GPU (okay, calling a GT 1030 a "GPU" is being charitable) I have an OS, and a PSU Plus a wifi card. All I really need is a DDR3-compatible ITX/uATX more to go with the I5-6500. I won't be a gaming box, but rather for Linux. Any suggestions for a board? NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 23, 2021 Asus Z170I would probably fit the bill, but goes for like 150 bucks. Stay away from the AsRock boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylake and kabylake (and even coffee lake supports it as long as you somehow find a board with ddr3 slots) are a-okay with ddr3 as long as your board supports it.

Was actually a common issue with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
