| 1436625 | 2017-06-25 10:00:00 | Hey guys I've been using my 2600k for quite some time now, and recently the whole system has died. I'm at least 99.9% sure it's the motherboard, and I'd like to get a hold of another one to check without spending a fortune. Trademe has some fairly bleak prospects, I really don't want to be spending more than about $80 for what effectively is a 5 year old second-hand motherboard, and most stuff on there is at least $150 or something silly. If anyone has a spare one and is willing to let me buy it off them or have it, even temporarily so that I can test the rest of my system, that would be absolutely amazing. Cheers, Skeptile2 |

| 1436627 | 2017-06-25 22:59:00 | They are so hard to find. I recently bought one off eBay for this exact situation. I guess its because the sellers would have to split up a working PC, working cpu/mb combo , in order to sell just the mb. Then they would be left trying to sell a lone CPU With trademe , allways the chance the mb is faulty if sold on it own . Ive been sold used mb's that had intermittent faults |

| 1436629 | 2017-06-26 05:48:00 | I have 2 but unfortunately they are both in working machines in storage at the moment 300kms away. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1436630 | 2017-06-26 09:51:00 | Cheers for the replies guys, I had a look at Aussie Ebay but once you factor in shipping cost it's still pretty expensive. I think it might be time to grab a 6 core Ryzen... | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1436631 | 2017-06-26 21:16:00 | Why bother? Time to upgrade. MB, CPU and ram.... There is only so long you can persist with the old stuff. |
