Intel boards with 3.0 header

[Clizzark]

Well, I need a new mobo. I need one with USB 3.0 header. I'm not looking to spend and arm an a leg...

If someone can give me some suggestions/links... I'd like to make a purchase tonight.
Thanks all!

Hmm..., well what's an arm and a leg to you? Meaning what's the most that you'd like to spend?

 

[Clizzark]

I'm looking for around $150. Less is better
Would I pay more? Possibly.

 

[DCIScouts]

Ok, that should definitely be possible. Do you have RAM and a processor already?

 

[StrangleHold]

What socket?

 

[Clizzark]

LGA 1155

I have an i5 2500k and everything else. I had a Z68 UD3H and its dead. I would consider purchasing it again but I'm looking around.

The GA-Z68XP-UD3P is not a bad board. Better power phase setup then the GA-Z68X-UD3H. But your board has a 3 year warranty. You could RMA it.

Do you overclock your CPU and GPU at all?

 

[DCIScouts]

Actually, looking closer at all the options, that Gigabyte board is probably the best bet for the money, and I'd check in to what Stranglehold was talking about as well...

 

[Clizzark]

The issue is actually the socket... can that be replaced?

 

[DCIScouts]

It depends on what they want to do, but to take a guess, they'll probably just send you a new one...

 

[StrangleHold]

Like said ^^. Or either a fix or refurbished one. I have got all three back.

You could RMA it. You said socket issues, I assume that means bent pins? I don't think they accept boards with physical damage for RMA, or they will charge an x amount to fix it/replace it.
