Question Can you recommend a replacement MOBO

[slatchley1]

This is my current (dead) system. In order to save money I would love to be able to replace the MOBO and keep everything else. Is this possible and if so can you recommend a board? Or is this just a stupid idea knowing how much components have changed since 2015. The system has been serving my needs fine when it has worked

Intel Core i7-5930K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.5GHz LGA 20

This one should work but only has two memory slots so your down to 16gb instead of 32gb.

There are some choices out there however once they start getting into the $300 range as most of them are then it may be more beneficial to upgrade the CPU & MB to a newer platform.

Price to features though the generic Chinese boards are probably going to be your best bet unless your heavily overclocking.

The only thing of concern, at least to me is that the seller doesn't accept returns but there's good feedback.

I did notice that one board I was looking at made it sound like it could only be used with windows 10. Didnt know this was a thing. I am still on win7 as 10 doesnt work with my large format photo printers.

There's Win7 drivers on Asrock's site so I don't think there would be an issue.
