New mobo for old SB build!

V

Hey guys, it seems that my Asus H67 B2 mobo is showing signs of the '3Gb SATA II ports degrading over time' Intel bug. 2 HDDs connected to those ports just disappeared yesterday & haven't detected since

So I guess I'm gonna need a new mobo! So please suggest a decent one according to the config from my signature. Budget around 7k. At least one legacy PCI for Xonar DG & minimum 2 Sata III ports for 2 SSDs are must.

Thanks.

Anybody?

the RMA the board and I'm sure you will get a B3 rev. board or better a board with upgraded chip.

RMA will take time & I'm in the middle of the project, so I need my PC alive n kicking most of the time... getting a new one will be much faster, so please suggest a couple of options!

lend a laptop from a friend for now. You will surely get a new revision mobo when you rma. SO buying a new mobo is not a wise decision. If you are not able to lend, get intel dh77eb mobo at 6.3k. I myself have it and it is a good board.

No laptop can handle this project

Mobo you suggested don't have legacy PCI I need for Xonar DG. How are ASRock mobos, btw? Found couple of decent ones with decent features.. H77 Pro4/MVP and Z75 Pro3.

Only 2 DIMM on that board & I have 16GB [4x4]

I checked out few boards & leaning towards Asrock H77 Pro4/MVP @ 6.7k. Looks like the most feature packed mobo under 7k. Only negative I read was thin PCB.. how's their ASS in India? Any experience?

it's good now.
