Hi all,

I think I need to replace my motherboard. The bloke down the shop says that I won't get a new board with a 1156 socket, so unless I get one secondhand, my i7 870 processor will be useless.

Is he right? Is there no fix?
(I read someting about using other type of socket, but forfeiting the use of the onboard graphics which I didn't really understand. I have been using a GTX750Ti GPU.)

Many thanks.

That CPU was released 9 years ago, and was the 1st generation of Intel Core processors.

They're currently at the 8th and 9th generation now. The motherboards for the 1st generation have been out of production for a long time.
