Hi Guys,

So a few weeks back I posted saying that i found a scotch mark on my motherboard.

I had been using my machine as a Hackintosh and it seemed to use the Ram differently than a PC and thus only crashed every few days, now its ever 1o minutes.

I need a new x79 motherboard, but they have been discontinued as its now moved to x99/v3. My CPU is a 3930k i7 and its working fine so I really don't want to fork out for another CPU and motherboard if I can carry on using this processor for a while longer with another x79 board.

Do any of you know where I can get an ASUS board from?

Many thanks!

From the FAQ.

Members Market?
The members market is provided as a free service to active and contributing forum members. OcUK are not liable for any deals that are done in the Members Market, you are free to buy and sell at your own risk. Please read the rules of the Members Market before you proceed to make your first sale.

Access to the Members Market forum requires two things. Firstly, you will need to have over 1000 posts and have been signed up for at least 180 days. Please note that this does not mean you spam the forums simply to increase your posts, as this action will result in posts being deducted, and if you continue this behaviour, your account will eventually be banned/suspended. Once you reach 1000 posts, you will need to activate your trust.The Trust system is for Members Market feedback only and not to be used for general user comments. Abusing the trust system will not be tolerated and such abuse will result in your account being suspended/ banned. Trust activation is either found in your UserCP, or you can press the trust button that appears at the bottom of all your posts.

Once you satisfy both of these criteria, Members Market access will be granted within 24hrs. Please do not post on the forums asking why you cannot access the members market, if you have any queries, email one of the forum Dons/Admins. The contact addresses are available in the FAQ.

So I have sourced 3 motherboards, I have the Gigabyte UD5, which is now dead.

My options are

1. Gigabyte X79 UD5 (already own it so know it works with my setup).

2. Asus P9X70 Pro

3. ASRock Extreme9

What would be your pick?
 
Unfortunately the company I sourced got the boards in today and they were damaged OEM parts, looks like I may have to stick some new kit on finance and go x99!
