Hey guys,

New guy here! So, I have some spare parts from an old gaming pc, I have an I975 extreme lg1366 processor, 12Gb ram, power supply, a NVDIA 275gtx card, etc. I am trying to build a HTPC with these parts; what I dont have is the case and motherboard. My question is, are there any micro atx motherboards compatible with my processor that I can use. Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for your reply, I checked out the Asus Rampage II Gene and saw that the microATX was discontinued, but ATX model looks very nice, I wish I hadn't built my other gaming pc... =( The Asus Rampage III Gene is for a LGA 2011.

Thanks, I might look at the Rampage IV Gene myself, but the Rampage III Gene is lga1366.

I doubt if you'll find any/many lga1366 boards still available brand new, I thought you were asking so you could look through ebay.
