Short story: Power surge fried my PSU and part of my P8Z68-V Pro/GEN3 motherboard (I believe) in 2013. I replaced my PSU and never looked back due to budget restraints.
In the present I am now finding I need to OC my system to handle new games better and having spent a weekend I've come to find two of my ram DIMMs are fried and fail at boot forcing me to use Single Channel - Which seems a bit daft to be running on although I've been using it for the last two years... Whoops.
Specs:
With that in mind I think I need to replace my motherboard with a fully functioning model but don't know where to go.
So the question is what do I purchase to replace my current Motherboard or do I just replace the entire section?
