Hey All,
my H97-Plus has broken after 5 years and as I see it there are two options:
A) Looking for another (old) mainboard with the same CPU socket (1150) to keep my CPU (Intel Xeon E3-1231v3), cooler (Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev) and DDR3 RAM or
B) Looking for a (new) mainboard with the 1151 socket and get a new CPU, cooler and DDR4 RAM .
What would you think is the better option and can you recommend any equipment? Id like to spend <130 EUR for a new mainboard, <80 EUR for RAM and <250 EUR for CPU in case of B).
Thank you for your support!
