West London/Queens Park area. Why? do you have good experience with rigs and are you from London too? If so, are you interested in replacing the mobo for me for a decent price and check all components are working and maybe even overclock my rig as well.

I would consider it, let me know buddy.
 
I'm not looking for money, and yes i'll happily help you replace the motherboard. And no i'm from Reading but a blast down the M4 on the bike is no bother.

And i'm not showing off, but like most enthusiasts on here i could put the board in with my eyes closed and i've been building pc's since 1992 either as a job or these days as a hobby.

If you want the help , pop me a Trust message.

When I get the board I’ll update the thread. Cheers for offering but the least I would offer in return is a couple of pints haha! Thanks again for the offer :)
 
Update on what happened. I managed to fit the board on myself ironically. Had a friend guide me through it all on video call. Which was very hard and took a while. So the gpu turned out to be fine in the end. Fitted the new v3 extreme mobo despite the mobo arrived with nothing and not even the I/O shield plate lol. My old mobos shield does not fit but that's no biggie. So I managed to get both of my gpus working in windows and all. I had to literally uninstall all drivers for the gpus and put it back to stock drivers which was 2006 drivers, then re-install latest drivers.

Now my current issues. In the nvidia control panel there is no SLI option to even enable. I will attach pictures. So I don't know if the SLI bridge is damaged or if it's a pci-e issue. As also my second gpu is running in x4 gen3 on the pci-e slot and my first card is running in x8 gen3 on the pci-e slot. Which I don't understand why or how. And I know for SLI to work both cards need to be running in x8/x8. How do I enable x8 specifically for the second card? I don't want to take the card out to slot it into another pci-e lane because I may run into damaging the board again lol. And I would have to remove the sound card too. Pictures of this will be attached too. And the last thing is, for some unknown reason when the pc is on and running, it sounds like a fan is touching a cable in the pc or like a touching/flicking noise on the pc. This is not major as my pc is running fine currently but the noise is really loud when I'm in the BIOS settings. Eliminating the cause of this noise would be great.

Someone helping me with this would be much appreciated. And the noise I'm getting in my rig which is annoying lol, although I'm suspecting is a fan touching or near a cable attached to the mobo? who knows.

I haven't done any overclock on the cpu and it's currently at 4GHz stock and 4.2GHz boost. I wanted to reapply the overclock to 4.6GHz but I have no experience with overclocking and I don't want any serious problems with the pc, so I just decided not to do it. I don't think that little boost to 4.6GHz will make a good enough difference in performance anyway.

Thanks again guys!
 
show a pic of the insides. you may have put the gpu in the wrong pcie slots.

the gpus should be in pcie1 and pcie3 if i recall correctly. and then install the sli bridge
