Hey guys,

Im new here and i need a hand.

I was recently given an i7 860 (i know its old)

And was really looking forward to overclocking it and getting shit done but realised my motherboard (1150) wont fit the 1156 cpu.

I need some advice on a cheap mother board to replace my MSI H81M-P33.

Thanks everyone in advance!

You won't be buying a new board for that CPU. You're probably going to need to use something like eBay or Craigslist to find a board for that CPU.

As i live in Australia craigslist isnt a thing. Could you reccomend any decent mobos?

 

Asus P7P55D Deluxe is a pretty decent one. Good luck finding one though.
