150 dollar LGA1155 budget board

[Kenji the Uke]

So my top PCI lane is ded. I dont have the money to upgrade to a new CPU  chipset, mainly because I'd rather put that towards a graphics card 3: But I did some looking and I couldnt find any good motherboards within that price range.. Size doesnt matter, since I have the NZXT 630 Ultratower 3: But can anyone recommend any 1155 motherboards? My budget is maxed at 150, no no wiggle room 3:

Try having the manufacturer replace it if it's within warranty or see how much it would cost to have it repaired by them if out of warranty. Either of these options should be cheaper than buying a new board (if you can even find them).

Sadly I cant because when I built my PC, I didnt realize I had to keep the CPU Pin cover.. so that was thrown out a good 2 years ago.. And I could.. But then my entire computer would be out of commission for god knows how long and I really need it ;w;

get a replacement board, use that LGA socket cover on your old mobo and RMA it

when it returns, sell it - profit

I don't know if this is always the case, but when I've RMA'd boards before the manufacturer will send you one after you've been charged the full original MSRP of the board  and the transaction will remain pending until they both receive and agree that your broken motherboard is broken in a way that is covered by warranty.

In a nutshell, the manufacturer won't front you a board without you being able to pay for it in full before they send it to you.  So they charge you the full price of the board, send you one, then once they get the broken board from you they decide whether the damage is covered by your warranty.  If it is covered, they'll put the money back in your account.  If it is not they will give you the option to keep the one they sent you, or let you send the one they sent you back to them and refund your money.
