Seth ⛧ Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) I'm looking for a new motherboard that is compatible with Intel processors and wasn't really finding that much. maybe I just wasn't looking that hard but I've decided to take some suggestions from you guys. What i'm looking for is a red themed Motherboard that is compatible with Intel processors (for example something that works with an I5-6600) and has a max-ish price of around $150. so if you know any good ones that are also really aesthetically pleasing then please tell me.

The x97 i posted is the wrong chipset so that one wont work. There are other MOBOS with thermal armour though ill try to dig one up. Downside to them is that they are usually more expensive. edit: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH-Z170-MARK-1/ Edited September 11, 2016 by joKer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugna Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Get a pre-owned one off ebay. 'Gamer' Motherboards are a fucking gimmick. Just like wireless anything and USB headphones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
