Dead motherboard and a 2700k

Hey guys,

 

I'm stuck at a crossroads and looking for some advice.  After a DOA RMA and months of back and forth over issues my intel DP67BG  is dead.  I am stuck with a otherwise working rig (as noted below) and a i7 2700k without a board. 

 

Options: 

 

1) Track down older P67 board 

2) Sell CPU and make the jump to Haswell, small performance gain.

 

What do you guys think?

 

 

 

 

Rig:

i7 2700K

H80i w. Noctua fans

EVGA GTX 680

16GB Kingston Hyper X DDR3

Intel 120gb ssd, 2 x 1tb wd black drives

Coolermaster 1000w psu (Overkill I know)

I was thinking of the z77 option, I had issues in the past building for friends where you needs a 3k series cpu to allow the board to get to bios before flashing to allow a 2k series cpu.

Z77 Mobo. You have a great chip, why leave it for a crappy Haswell?

Sorry i could not vote because i would choose differently. I think you should upgrade but to a Z77 motherboard of your choice.

What everyone else is saying, find a nice Z77 board. Much more cost effective.

I don't know about that.  I know the reverse was true.  You needed a bios update on z68 to get Ivy to work but I never heard of needing a bios update to get sandy to work on z77.

I bought a z77 to replace a z68, worked great out of the box fine. Overclocks better too

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

In my opinion Haswell is kind of crappy so I would go with a Z77 board.

I got a P8Z77-V and I can only say good things about it. Also if you get an Asus board you do not need a cpu or even ram to flash a new bios so there would be no problem with it not supporting the 2700k out of the box

+1 on getting a cheap Z77 board. I would recommend the P8Z77-V LK board.

After picking up a z77 saber tooth that was doa i ended up grabbing the P8Z77-V LK and I have a working rig again, thanks for the recommendation

Get a Z77 board or anything you like but there is no reason at all to get rid of the 2700k

That is a beasty chip just get another board. The only compelling reason to switch to z87 is the platforms features!
