| 1365187 | 2014-01-14 05:31:00 | I have acquired an i3 and some memory but am having trouble pinning down a replacement board - Not sure if the cpu & ram work (original board died). Have tried tardme but second hand they are going for not much more than a new 1150 board - have googled 1156 in nz, but not having any luck - any ideas or should I hit the bay? (Actually they are still expensive there too). Really after a board that can overclock too. |

| 1365189 | 2014-01-15 00:42:00 | seconding the above. 1st generation i-x processors are good, but not so much that you should still replace the whole board when another board and processor would be just as much, if not a little more; especially since this is an i3 instead of an i5 or i7 you're looking for a board for. In any case, DDR3 should work in the new board, although it's likely 1333 instead of 1600 or whatever they run at now. Not that big of an issue there though. Just buy a bog standard board for maybe 80-100ish, see if you can't sell that processor you've got and plonk in a new one and voila, new better than you would have had otherwise PC. |

| 1365190 | 2014-01-15 07:29:00 | Thanks for the replies, (even if they werent what I was hoping for) - I was hoping to upgrade the tv's e6400 for cheap but it looks like the CPU is destined for my parts box. Cheers! |
