Need a cheap motherboard

Hello, i just got my QX6700 replaced, and im still getting very high temps. The Intel support guy said that since it has been replaced, it can only be 2 things. Either its not fitted properly ( i refitted it 2 times), if its not that, its the power voltage regulator, or something thats defective. Now i need a new motherboard.

My old one is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, so i would prefer if it was a gigabyte. Are there any motherboards with the same specs as this one, thats cheap? Because i cant find any place to buy this motherboard.

Thanks.

The temps im getting are 50-55 idle, then after a while 60+. Playing games, 70-75, then after a while 80+.

I installed the heat sink fan by following a guide made by intel i found on youtube, and did exactly what they said in the video.

By throttle down, you mean increase the fan speed right? Forgot to mention ive got the fan running 100% speed all the time. I was told it will auto shut down if it gets too hot, but come on, it cant be healthy for it to be running 70+ constantly in long play sessions.

First time i used the thermal paste already applied to the intel box heat sink fan, second time, a friend gave me something called arctic silver, and told me to put a very thin line, and spread it out with a credit card.

What temps and voltages are displayed in the BIOS (I don't always trust software to report temps)? What happens if the fan isn't running 100% all the time?

What's the core voltage and multiplier reported by CPU-Z at idle and on load?

What is the room temperature and is your case properly vented? What else is installed in that system?

Core temp isn't accurate with all motherboards. That's why I recommended you touch the heatsink. The temps in the bios are usually the most accurate.

Is there anything else wrong with your system, besides high temps? A new motherboard won't change your temps. It would be cheaper to change your heatsink than the motherboard. Check newegg's open box section for one of the massive square heatsinks; any of them will give you lower temps than Intel's stock heatsink. Some go for around $25-30 shipped. You may have to remove the board to install them, but it's not that hard.

The intel guy said that the voltage regulator, or whatever it is called has to be the problem then. He said that i have to replace the motherboard. I already tryed with 2 other coolers. Nothing seems to help. Ive tryed alot of things over the past month.
