Where to find Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H (rev 1.0)?
I have looked for online stores, but failed to find any. Any reference?
The mobo which is on FK is not rev 1.0 i.e no USB 3.0.

Jas, suggest Z75 boards only with Non-K i5 Processors so that people can partially overclock it. I3 and Pentium Dual Core Processors don't have turbo boost at all and no matter what Motherboard you use, they can't be overclocked in any manner. And there is no point to suggest a Dual Core Processor like i3 3220 @ 6.9K where FX-6300 is available @ 7.3K only (in smcinternational). For FX-6300, you can use the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 board which is available @ 5.2K. It is 95W TDP CPU can be used and even overclocked with that board.

BTW, Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 is available at 6.6K in SMC. It can be a replacement for both Asus M5A97 and EVO version. As per the specs it has superior build quality and VRM design.
