Anyone know of an LGA 1155 motherboard that will drop right into an x3? Needs to have a COM header and 8-pin CPU power connector, a 1x and 16x PCIE, right? Anything I'm missing?
 
Can a mod move this to the Type X forum please? Thanks
 
This unit is a drop-in replacement for the stock TTX3 mobo:

Caveats:

-You'll need a 3-pin chassis fan extension cable
-Stock x3 CPU fan won't mount, you'll need something like the stock Intel fan that clips in instead of screws in
-If you run a GTX 760, you'll need a "6 to 8-pin GPU power adapter". 660 and 640 work fine without any adapter (this has nothing to do with the mobo, just FYI)
-You'll need to break out the white wire from the FP connector on the IO and attach to a USB +5V header. This is documented elsewhere on the forum

Please move this to the Type X forum. Thanks.
