Ok, this might seem lame question but why Intel stopped making desktop motherboards? I found their boards pretty good but they manufactured boards till 4th generation processors only. Did they stop making boards because of Gigabyte, Asus and MSI got a strong share in the market of motherboards?

My PC Rig:

CPU : Intel Core i5 7400 @ 3.00GHz

Motherboard : Gigabyte H110M-S2

CPU Cooler : Stock Intel Cooler

RAM : 8 GB @ 2133 MHz (Kingston HyperX Fury)

GPU : Gigabyte GTX 750Ti @ 2GB

HDD : Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM  1TB

PSU : Artis VIP 500 Gold Power Supply

Case : iBall Ariana

OS : Windows 10 Pro x64

There will be many reasons for this some of which only Intel employees know. But from what I heard Intel became happy with the quality of boards produced by the manufacturers and as you mentioned their market share was getting destroyed. Intel has a vast range of products and I'd say that they decided it would be more profitable to put their resources into another division.

CPU: Intel i7-4790K @ stock for now --- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb --- MOBO: Asus Maximus VII Formula --- GPU: MSI Gaming GTX 980ti --- PSU: Corsair AX860i  ---  Storage: Samsung 850 250gb(OS), 3x Western Digital Blue 3tb (one for game and programs, two for media), 3tb WD Green(somewhat backup) and a Crucial M550 120gb SSD (caching games and programs drive)  --- Case: Fractal Define R5 --- Cooler: Corsair H100i with Noctua 2000rpm, Industrial Fans --- OS: Windows 10 --- Monitor: Asus PB298q + AOC l2260SWD --- Mouse: Logitech G502 Spectrum --- Keyboard: Corsair K70 (Cherry MX Red) Red LED's --- Audio: Audio Engine A2's (yes the originals), Sennheiser HD 58x Jubilee Audio-Technica ATH-AD900x, Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Ant Lion Mod Mic V4 --- Laptop: Dell XPS 9750

Yes, that could be the reason! Thanks btw. :D

Intel thought tiny form factor PC's and All-in-ones were going to be the future of consumer desktops and began manufacturing for those instead.

i honestly would not use an Intel motherboard. id rather use something designed by a partner like ASRock because of the extra features they chose to include

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
