In compatible components.

Building a NAS from old pc hardware. 

 

I need help finding either a Micro ATX or Mini ITX motherboard compatible with my i5 7400 or a cpu compatible with my H370M DS3H. 

 

I forgot I had upgraded my cpu and mobo together and thought the Micro ATX board I had was compatible with my i5 7400 so I went and bought the SAMA IMO1 to build a DIY NAS. Now I have all the necessary components to build a NAS except my cpu and mobo are incompatible.  Are there any work arounds to get an i5 7400 working on a 300 series 1151 board like my gigabyte H370M DS3H?

 

I would rather not spend a few hundred dollars on a 8th or 9th gen CPU because of the tech shortages and surge prices, but I'm having a rather hard time finding 100 or 200 series micro ATX or mini ITX mobo with 4 sata connectors.

I mean, I have a board that would work for you, but im kindof using it...

What would be the best bet for you is getting a cheep athlon 3000g or 2200ge and a cheep b450 like the b450 ds3h, but thats just me.
