    Hi all

    I build a pc a few years ago with the speck in th post below, but alas my motherboard had died and I need to replace it. The problem is I can't seem to get the same model, and am not sure what to replace it with.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=77293585&postcount=3

    The tl;dr is the motherboard is an ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT, Sockel 1155, ITX and I have 16GB of RAM in it. It needs to run two monitors, like the previous boards with either two hdmi or 1 hdmi and 1 DVI.

    Any ideas as to what I could replace it with?

    Thanks.

    2nd hand most likely. The problem is the fact that it has to be ITX, which makes it more difficult. It's still possible to buy 1155 motherboards new, but mostly cheap H81 chipsets and in matx factor. I'm sure if you have a good look on adverts or ebay it shouldn't be too hard to find an ITX mobo.

    similar situation recently and this did the job for me.

    shocks at how 1155 is out of date so fast. the processor still works for gaming so didn't see any reason to get a new intel cpu
