Hi, ive read a lot on this forum previously. Ive not seen an up to date answer for the following.

I have a 3770k i7, ive damaged my m'board.

Im wanting a z77 but cant find one anywhere! Do you guys know of any available. Ive ordered a b75 to keep me going but I cant use my cpu to full potential on this...

Thanks for the reply,

How much slower is the b75 vs z77?

I was 'tinkering' and knackered the usb 3 header pins as they sit right against the h100 radiator.

What does "tinkering" entail? Is the board dead, or just now missing a USB3 header?

I'd personally RMA the board.

The corsair h100 kept being lost by the software (common issue) the lead came off when adjusting other cables, damaging the pins.

Im going to get a usb 3 to usb 2 convertor meaning i just lose the usb 3 speed.

Not the end of the world.

Cant warrent changing to a new cpu!
