Need to upgrade Motherboard please suggest one

[raddix1]

Hi, I have a Core i7 2600 processor.

My current Mother Board is Intel DH61WW.

It is giving me some problems and that's why I want to upgrade it. I went to market and found out that Intel has stopped manufacturing Motherboard. Since, I am using this for 4 years so I never get the news.

But, I see some of the website are still selling Intel Motherboard. I selected one which is Intel DH77EB. But I am in a confusion on which one to buy.

So, Please anyone suggest me a good motherboard and I just want that motherboard to have a upper hand with DH61WW. I do not have any further wishes, I just want it to be better.

Still I am in India, so many motherboards are hard to find. So please give me some suggestion of motherboard which can be found out in flipkart.com Thanking you in advance.

You require a LGA1155 motherboard for Intel Sandy Bridge Core i7 2600 processor. The one I would suggest is this Asrock motherboard. I included a US supplier webpage so that you can see the features.

I found a Intel Z77 LGA 1155 on your suggested site. It is compatible with your stated processor, and it should be a step up from your previous motherboard. The LGA1155 motherboard selection was rather slim.

Thanks for your answer, but the second option you provided is way over my budget. Do you think that the below one will be better?

Can you please recommend any other Motherboard, I have a very bad experience with Gigabyte and thanks for your answer

yes i think your best option is this the Intel DH77EB Motherboard

since you do have a budget.

I made my suggestions based on your desire for a better motherboard. I had no budget.

Sure it will work. The main criteria is that it must have an Intel LGA1155 socket. In the 5,000 - 10,000 Rs. price range at Flipart, the one that you suggested (H77) is the best option. Another option is a Z77 that is midway between the two.

Intel DZ77BH-55K Motherboard for 17,900 Rs.

But the final decision is entirely yours. The supplier you picked is heavily packed with Intel motherboards. That wouldn't be the brand of motherboard that I would normally suggest. I prefer Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, or Asrock for motherboards.

Hey thanks again for your advice. A user has also suggested the Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H. So my final choice is between Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H and Intel DH77EB which one would you recommend?

 

[terry4536]

I don't know if you realize it or not but the Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H and Intel DH77EB are Micro ATX motherboards. Both are limited to DDR3 1600 RAM. The Gigabyte has a B75 chipset. The Intel has a H77 chipset. The Gigabyte is more of an entry level motherboard. Of the two I would choose the Intel DH77EB.
