Eish bru! That sucks. I'm sure you'll be able to find all these things somewhere, it just depends on the competency of the people that you deal with.

You should have gotten a bag o' screws with the new Motherboard?
Token, the Asus Board performs well with the Corsair RAM if you buy them as a kit, not individually
Don't think you'll have too many issues

Alright cool, thanks dude!


Shot guys, all I need to worry about now is getting that Intel backplate for the V8 Cooler. I know I should have it somewhere in it's box but I looked the other day and I couldn't find it. :/

Other than that, I think I'm set.

Jees man. What horror stories have you heard? I have had no problems with my board and it is very highly rated some reviews say that it is the best board you can get for the 1155 chipset.

About the V8 cooler. You just need to go to a shop that sells them and they need to order one for you. I know they can cause i thought that i would need a new bracket moving from the 1366 to the 1155 chipset.(turns out they use the same bracket but we found that out after the order was made.)

As for the Z68, the P67's are still the flagship 1155 boards.

Some okes just told me of their board failing and the had to return it etc. Anyhow, I'm still sticking with ASUS though, I'm going for that P8P67. Looks like very neat :)

Shot for the suggestions though Darth :)

Hmm, i'm not so sure about that. But i guess the features aren't worth extra dough.

Just found the clip for 1156

I would reckon something like the Asus P8P67 Deluxe is your best bet. I will probably get that for my new PC.

Pitty no-one sells the Asrock Fatal1ty P67 board here

i didnt get a Bag o' screws with the board, i got them with the chasis which i cannot find :|
