Hi All
I am from Bangalore, India. I am not sure if this is the right place for this post. Anyhow, here goes...
I have a damaged Asus Rampage V Extreme motherboard. The Asus authorized service center in Bangalore refused to repair the motherboard as it was out of warranty. Anyhow, I took this "opportunity" to upgrade my system. Now, I have the damaged motherboard, an i7 5820K, 32GB RAM, an AIO cooler and soon a GTX1080 (hopefully, after I upgrade to a new one). I was planning on buying the additional parts and setting up another machine.
Asus support gave me the option for paid repair by sending the board to a location all the way across the country. Just to be sure, I asked for the price of a spare x99 chipset. I am being told that the part would cost upwards of Rs. 25000 (USD 325+) !!! So, I am gonna forget about repairing the mobo!
So, here are the options that I have :
1) Buy another X99 motherboard. But from where!!! Anyone know any place in India (preferably Bangalore) from where I could get an X99 motherboard (used/new) ?
2) Sell the 5820K (if anyone will buy one!). Get everything new except for the RAM, AIO cooler, graphics card.
Any (other) suggestions ?
