Any good Z77 motherboards with 4 DIMM slots and SLI support?

 

Since GPU prices are so fucking insane I might as well upgrade the oldest part of my rig.

 

Please post Amazon links if you can.

Main build: Intel Xeon E3 1240 | 16GB Avexir Red | Custom GTX 1050Ti | 1.5TB RAID0 | 500GB RAID0 | 240GB SSD | 240mm AiO | Thermaltake Dragonscale | Corsair CX600 v1

 

Media Center: Intel i5 3470 | 8GB Corsair XMS3 | GTX 550Ti XLR8 RED | 500GB WD Blue | Stock Intel | Dell 3010 Case | 250W PSU

 

Main Laptop: Gold HP DV7 1127CL | AMD Turion X2 RM-72 | 4GB DDR2 | AMD HD 3200M Graphics | 32GB Hually SSD | 1TB Western Digital Blue

Your going to have better luck looking for places that have some old new stock in place or the used market since they aren't readily available. As for options the Z77 sabertooth was very well regarded at that time and was fairly popular.

I found a Z87 for like $200.

 

Also, are sellers claiming that the bent pins on a board are "spare pins" lying? It seems like a lame excuse to scam someone.

I wouldn't trust it especially for that price point, some pins aren't utilized on a CPU but it depends heavily on where they are, and you need to refer to a diagram to find out.

If you can find an ASROCK Z77 extreme 6 grab it. Had one with a 3570K great combo. 
The "older" boards are hard to find, even on Ebay.

I found a good Z77 Intel Extreme motherboard for fairly cheap, if I had like $20 more I can get it AND a 980. Lol.

I like Asrock and Corsair a lot. My build was originally a Corsiar-AsRock planned build but with how quickly I upgrade (like once or twice a month, last month was RAM) it quickly fell apart.

My rig now is a lot better/faster, but my 3570K 2 x 760's is still my favorite. ASROCK boards are great especially for the price, using one curently (Z97 Killer)
