ASUS Sabertooth Z97 MK2 Replacement?

[therorkstar]

Can anyone recommend a good replacement for this motherboard? Mine died last week but the original price has skyrocketed 2-2.5x. Do I have any other options for an older mobo with the 1150 socket or am I SIL?

Thank you

You'd be surprised. You can still buy these motherboards direct from manufacturer on Amazon:

It's the way Intel got away with shipping old Haswell Pentium processors to ease up demand on 14nm processes.

I would imagine these come with a 1 year warranty.

If you want fancy boards with all the trimmings, Ebay or [H] for/sale/for trade is your only option.

The Micro ATX board looks pretty good. I'd just need to downgrade my case and I think my video card should fit. Thank you!
