There are only 2 reasons I would buy a motherboard:
- The current one broke
- Want to upgrade some other part (usually CPU) and it’s incompatible.
What feature would make you upgrade just the motherboard? Especially given how expensive they are nowadays (sometimes even more expensive than the CPU).
“cheap”
Bro does not have servers
Y’all got any of that ECC?
For a while the markeg hete was flooded with ecc and to a lesser extent sodimms, so cheap compared to long sticks
RAM: “I need 2x16GB of DDR4, I’ll purchase 2x16GB of DDR4 from literally any brand”
Mobo: “I need something to hold my CPU, let me check the socket, number of PCI ports, number of USB ports, how many of them are USB-C, how many of them are for power only, also my CPU has an iGPU but the Asus FU42069 doesn’t have support. Only the MSI 8008135 RGB (military grade gamer edition) has it, but only has a single PCI 16x slot. The ASRock BLNK182 has iGPU support and 2 PCI slots but only USB 3.1 Type A Class S AMG Turbo Diesel”
Why re-apply thermal paste. I just hawk tuah and slap the fan on there.
