I have an amd phenom 2 970be x4,
Nvidia 770 4gb
And I believe 240 pin ram 133 my
I built this computer around 2012 and my current mono I think is dead. I turn it on and no beeps and the fans run. I tried putting a different stick of ram in it that is good and it did the same thing. I unplugged the graphics card because I knew that I would get some beer error code from that but my mono did not ever beep any times while trying to boot. I cleared cmos by moving the jumper to pins 2 and 3, no difference. I have a newish psu, it is a good series from corsair around 700watts I believe and have plenty of headroom, it is quite unlikely that it failed.
I could do more trouble shooting but I don't think it will help... which brings me to the idea that after I try a different gpu tomorrow, and on Thursday my buddies extra pay I will likely want to buy a new mobo and if I still have issues replacing the cpu.
My question i have is which mobo to buy? I really want an am3+ because i can save money not buying a new cpu also. I figure if i get a new mobo I should get one with the newest or best chipset for gaming, and one that has the fastest ram, my current speed is 1333 mhz and I want one that is compatible with the best out there right now and not necessarily compatible with what I have now. I will only run one gpu at a time and I do not to upgrade past 16gb ram in the future, I am not interested in a micro mb and I would like a couple sub 3.0 ports, at least 4 sata connectors, preferably 6 and an optical headphone jack as well as being compatible with a dual link dvi monitor because I can get up to 144 fps that way, I believe it is dvi-I output.
Any mobo advice/recommendations as well as any troubleshooting tips are much appreciated. Thanks for reading!
