cjloki Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 welp, that wasn't a real popular socket, kind of a dead end, but i did put together a machine on a gigabyte p55-ud5 ...only thing is the sheila is still using it for her main office machine and daily web browser (shrug)...it's still up and running and she would kill me if i changed anything,...she won't even let me put win 10 on it,....crazy woman likes her win 8.1,...but there are a few 1156 mobos out there in the world...

SpikeSoprano Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 They are out there, but I doubt you'll find one with the original box and such, I sold an asus p6 with a 920 and 4 gb of ram for $100 canadian to a buddy of mine about 2 months ago, you might find one on ebay that works good if your lucky !

xenkw0n Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Some of your are referencing 1366 which is X58 and OP is talking about 1156. X58 systems are still viable because of the 6 core Xeon's that overclock really well and support for 48GB of RAM. 1156 is kind of a dead-end anymore and has underwhelming performance. It's the reason I asked "Why?" - For 100$ you could get a used X58 board and then grab a X5650 for $20 and instantly have a much faster computer than any 1156. If it's for enthusiast/personal appeal, I get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) you still looking for one? I'm upgrading my system and I planning on selling off my Gigabyte EX58-UD4p. I'll prob be selling off the rest of the rig too : OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model ... Cooler Master Hyper N520 - CPU Cooler with Copper Base and 5 Heatpipes intel i7 920 (woops, should have read the previous post, I misread as well. Well still thinking of selling off the stuff anyhow) Edited October 25, 2017 by Muskie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
