[SOLVED] Replacement for Asus P9X79 PRO

[odangelo]

After 10 years, my Asus P9X79 PRO motherboard has finally given out. I was very happy with it and the performance was excellent for my use (1080p nonlinear video editing, graphic editing, MS Office, and internet access). I'm looking to update to a completely new system which would expand my video editing to 4K/8K video and realize I need a paradigm shift.

In the meantime, since the P9X79 PRO is very obsolete, could someone suggest a replacement motherboard with similar features? I have an Intel Core i7-3820 processor with liquid cooler, 4x8GB DDR3 DIMMs, 2x Crucial 512GB SSDs, 2x 3TB SATA3 3.5in HDDs, and GeForce GTX 550 Ti. The P9X79 had two RAID controllers (Marvell 88SE9128 + ASMedia ASM1061) and I'd like the same to be able to reuse my components as-is without buying a separate controller card. I'd like to get this up and running again as quickly as possible so that I can take my time to research my next PC build.

Appreciate the help!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Have you ruled out that the BIOS chip on the board might've given out and that the board is intact? Might it be possible to state how you've come to the conclusion that the board is gone? Make and model of your PSU and it's age? Also, what sort of a budget do you/we have to work with? Source the same board, if anything off of Aliexpress, though please be warned not to invest in those funky named Chinese boards that cost less than an arm and a leg since they lack proper BIOS and driver support.
