Hey folks, so a little quick backstory:
My motherboard died back in january, bought a new ‘refurbished’ board off Newegg and it worked fine for awhile. Then had a PSU failure a couple months ago, the fan wouldn’t come on and it would overheat and shut down the system. Bought a better PSU and it works great.
Now the refurbished board has died on me. I live in Canada and finding a LGA 1155 board for my i7-3770 isn’t too easy. Seems like the average price for a new board (with 4 memory slots) is $170ish.
Seeing as I’ve replaced this board twice. Would it just be a good idea to go with new parts? Aside from the GTX 970 and the EVGA 650w G3 I recently purchased.
I just don’t want to shell out more and more money on a lemon system. Is it possible that there’s a deeper problem here?
