Replacing my Motherboard

[eliteyberion]

Hello hello,

My motherboard seems to be done for. I have various weird issues, which I can't resolve. By now I am fairly certain it's the motherboard...
This is my other thread:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3664899/problems-possibly-related.html

I am looking to replace it.

But I am unsure what to do now. Since my cpu and mobo are both 5 years old. The processor is a LGA 1150 socket and my retailer doesn't have any motherboards that are "that old". But it works still perfectly fine.

Would you recommend buying a new cpu aswell or trying to find an old Motherboard somewhere?

Thanks a bunch!

As your components are high-quality, i'd buy a new MoBo.
Boards for Socket 1150 can be bought online, are well available (other than the generation before, which getting is hard, and expensive), and have reasonable prices.
Going for a new generations requires DDR4, which is very (and too) expensive.

depending on where you live it will be difficult to find a replacement motherboard especially if you looking for an unlocked one for your K version CPU. ebay is usually the place to look old hardware like this but any used Z boards will range from pricey to ridiculously pricey.

in the end you may find the more viable option would be to go for a platform upgrade. unfortunately your CPU was the last to use DDR3 ram so you would end up getting a new mobo, CPU, and ram to get your desktop PC back

This is in german, forgive me, but see the available selection...

Alright.
So if I find an old one which is compatible with everything and buy one, my "current processing power" would stay the same?

Since I also edit video footage and occasionally 3D I might go for the upgrade...
I'll probably make a new thread, once I found stuff that I think is what I like.

Thanks for the answers!

If you get a MoBo with the same chipset, it will stay as fast as before, give or take 5%.

Alright, I have a look into it. Thanks a ton!
