    If the bios is corrupt you need a new board or a new bios chip put on it and that is not an easy thing to do. They could not find a same board replacement?

    Hi, talking of chipset, can you tell me if processor is tied to chipset. The i7 cpu I have came with a Z75 motherboard, just wondering if I can use a H61 chipset board, as they seem available. I understand about socket being same, but not sure over chipset. Thanks

    CPU-Z | Softwares | CPUID

    Can you link to the board model your looking at, the difference between the h and z chipsets is the z has features like ocing unlocked cpus, more advanced bios features ect. The h is basically get a non k sku like your i7 and throw it in and just do work. No bells, no whistles.
