So this is frustrating for me. I have this old PC I bought from HP a few years ago. I moved it to a new case, put AIO liquid cooling on the CPU, changed Graphics Card. An year ago I built myself a more powerful PC. But this old one is still pretty good, with its i7-860. Still keeps up with all I throw at it, but it is obviously slowly falling behind. I would like to do some overclocking on the CPU to give it some more power, since the cooling is adequate. But there is one problem. I'm still running on the crappy OEM motherboard it came with. And I would really want to change it. But. Where the hell did all LGA 1156 motherboards go?? I live in Europe, and I can't find anything with that socket! I find some more crappy OEM mobos, but nothing really relevant. And the very few ones I find are so expensive that they are just not worth it. What the hell? Ok, it is an old socket. But seriously, how is it SO hard to find one? I don't want to throw away this system, it serves me really well.... if I could only do a little bit of overclocking on that CPU....

I know it's dead. My main PC is infact on an LGA 1150 platform. But I did not want to throw away my trusty old PC which still performs pretty well. And I am frustrated with not finding ANYTHING like what I need.
