Right off the assembly line
Hey All!
I'm looking for a new Mobo with USB3 ports for my current config(as listed below), since my 8 month old Intel mobo conked off two weeks ago
Having submitted the same for RMA thereafter, I'm still awaiting a replacement. I was told that the replacement would be done in one week but this fairy tale promise has yet to come true 
and I've a gut feeling that it may take a few more weeks for me to get a suitable replacement in hand.
Bottom line:I need a new mobo and would appreciate if you could suggest an sturdy alternative to the Intel DH67 board that supports Intel i5-2300 procy(Max budget 7K).My only prerequisite is having USB 3 connectivity (min 2, 4 would be even better!) & one HDMI port. Also, native support for 1600Mhz DDR3 Ram would be nice-It seems that although DH67CL board supports 1600 DDR3 RAM, it runs @ 1333Mhz.
Does opting for the same Intel DH67 mobo make sense or should I look at other options like B75(Link:ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS P8B75-M LE) or Asrock B75 Pro 3(Link:*www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B75 Pro3/)?
Current config:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2300
CPU Cooler: Default
Motherboard: Intel DH67CL LGA1155 Motherboard(*Currently @ Service Center)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Case: Cooler Master Elite 310
Power Supply: Corsair CX430
Optical Drive: Samung
I thank you all, in anticipation, for your time & efforts in helping me out with choosing the best mobo for my needs!
Cheers!
