Hi.

I might replace the motherboards on my desktops. The thing is that it's socket LGA1156 with the H57 chipset. Can anyone recommend me a replacement motherboard?

You don't need a H57 chipset....unless you want one. Any LGA 1156 should work.

 

Are there any local stores or websites that you particularly shop for computer parts at?

If so, could you give us a link to them?

 

I'm going through a few European PC components websites (i.e. Novatech, Aria, eBuyer, overclockers, Dabs, etc) and I'm not seeing any socket LGA 1156 motherboards available...

Sorry for not checking this topic. Well, I'm in Estonia and we speak Estonian here. I can give you website to my local computer store, but it's in Estonian. You could try Google-translating it, but you probably won't understand anything. They don't have an English version of their site, only Estonian and Russian. I actually checked that store and nope, no 1156 boards in there.

I already did a search but found nothing for LGA1156. Quite interesting, because they sell 775 boards. Well, you can have a go at it if you want to.

There isn't anything important in the pictures, you don't have to ask me about them. I already did a search and found nothing.

The problem with socket 1156 is that it is discontinued. You would probably have to look for a used one.

 

I don't know if you have anything that's equivalent to eBay in Estonia, but that is what I suggest either way.
