Hey guys,
Im in the process of building a rig for my girlfriend. Ive been slowly buying parts whenever I can, so far ive managed to grab an r9 nano, a 21:9 29 inch monitor, an e3 1270 v1, a desk, and weve finally decided on what case she wants. (there is no rhyme or reason to why I did things in that order, just when i find good deals i take them, theres no huge hurry on the rig, its one of those things i plan on slowly piecing together as I get the money)
She wants the silverstone ft03 mini itx tower. I was getting ready to click buy on that, however, I decided to look and see what lga1150 motherboards support my specific cpu. In my experience, i had never really had issues with compatibility, but i figured since its an older platform, and im using a xeon, i had better check into which motherboards support my specific cpu. Heres where im running into an issue. Ive searched through the asrock, and msi websites for all the mitx , lga1155
8 motherboards that specifically list support for my cpu. A LOT of then list support for the e3 1270 v2, but not the v1. Ive only managed to hunt down one mini itx motherboard that supports my cpu, and its from asrock, and is going on ebay for 250 bucks. Thats WAY too much money for a mitx motherboard, that i dont even plan to OC on, especially used. I was wondering if some of the kind people in this community could help me hunt down a mitx motherboard that supports the e3 1270 v1, for around 100 bucks. can be a little more, or a little less. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Also, the ( in the title only happened because I accidentally clicked enter while i was attempting to put motherboard in between ().
Edit: I screwed up ,made this post at like 330 am for me, after i got off work at two, the socket is lga1155. MY bad fellas.
Edit: nevermind i found one . decided to go with the
GA-H77N-WIFI Mini ITX
thanks for all the help.I was going through each motherboard manufacturer's list of lga1150 mobo list manually skimming through , and it was taking forever. I should have just cross referenced from pcpartpicker's supported mobos in the first place, big derp on my part. Funny because I use pcpartpicker all the time.
