I was looking thru the used bin of motherboards I found a asus vanguard B85 1150 motherboard for $20 no cos battery or io shield. 

Does anyone think I should get it for messing around? 

Or leave it be. The shop owner says it works and I can use his 4670 to test the board b4 buying.

oh boi thats a deal if i ever saw one, grab it ASAP!!! 4th gen is still great, ddr3 is well priced and its always good to have more hardware

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

Sure, even if the cmos is gone, you can solder one on. its a 114 usd board new.

you shouldnt need to solder on a new battery. they usually have small battery holders on the motherboard that you can put a new one in.

If you want, but ask why no io shield. Make sure to buy a new cmos battery. Id reccomend newer systems unless you have a cpu.

I have a 4560 non k not sure if it'll still work but no harm trying

The price of it when 'new' is hardly relevant when it's an old 4th gen board that nowhere sells 'new' anymore :P 

 

But if it works yeah $20 is a decent deal, they're about $60-70 on eBay.

Yup it works but had to pay $5 for a new battery as for the io plate it's on a case he says he'll give it to me for $5 too.... 

So I spent $30 for a board + a battery + a io shield well not too bad.
