Mobo recommendations needed please

[darrenkarp]

Hi All,

With an upgrade to Windows 10 and my SSD drive my GB EX58-UD3R R1.0 mobo in AHCI mode isn't compatible as no driver is available apparently and I'm having to run her in IDE mode to remove constant freezing when playing games. Windows 7 had no problems but we both (my son) prefer W10.

I have an i7 920 D0 processor and I really don't want to nor afford to change the whole setup so what I'm asking here is for a replacement mobo which I can still use my memory and processor, etc. with.

Any advice warmly welcomed.

Cheers
Daz

I think this maybe the case with most x58 motherboards updating to windows 10 as the manufacturers of the motherboards are not listing driver updates.

I take it the windows 7 driver doesn't work then? They didn't even release any windows 8 drivers for your board. I think that your only way around this is to change to a newer platform. As mickyflinn says, manufacturers are not going to put any effort into making drivers for such a old platform. Sadly they can make more money out of people being forced to upgrade.
