Replacement for Asus SABERTOOTH X58 LGA 1366?

[Clifford Vento]

Hello everybody, sorry if my english is not perfect. This is the motherboard i used to own but around 2 months ago suddenly it stopped working so now im looking for a replacement. The problem is that its really hard to find one and the ones i find are either used or really overpriced. My question is: is there any other motherboard i can use? my processor is a core i7 and i don't want to replace all my components that would be too expensive. Any help is welcome. Thanks

With the processor you have, you can only choose LGA 1366 boards. With the other components, you can go with whatever compatible processor and motherboard (excepting x99 - DDR4 required)

You have to buy the X58 MB for your old version i7, but the problem is you are hard to find the X58 MB because the manufacturers don't make them anymore.
You are better to get the new version i7 + new version MB, and you can use the ram, hdd, dvd, case for the new built. If you don't want to oc, then you can buy the xeon e3 1230V3, which is the best value one, it is similar to the i7 4770 but don't have the iGPU.

Hey buddy.

They stopped making that motherboard model in late 2011, so it is going to be hard to find.
But i found a few
