Hello,
my MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E) motherboard has just failed me.
I'm looking to replace it at a low cost and, before heading to my local repair shop, I wanted to ask you the ultimate question:
_ What can I replace it with?
Here are its specifications:
Manufacturer: MSI
Form factor: microATX - 24.4 cm (9.6 inches) x 24.4 cm (9.6 inches)
Chipset: Intel H57 Express
Memory slots: 4 x DDR3
Front bus speeds: DMI 2.5 GT/s
Processor socket: LGA1156
Expansion slots:
1 PCI Express x16 slot for graphics card
3 PCI Express x1 slots
1 slot for mini PCI Express x1
For the ports, I only use the PCI E x16.
Thank you in advance.

Hi!
Are you really sure that your motherboard is messed up?

Hello Julius
Are you 100% sure that the issue is with your motherboard?
Don't you think it would be wiser to wait for the repairman's advice before starting to change components?
Also, I want to begin my research, but I need the name of your processor, your graphics card, and your RAM...?
Thank you

Re for now I have found:
ASUS P7F-M
Supermicro MBD-C7SIM-Q-O
Supermicro MBD-X8SIL-0
I will get back to you as soon as I have more information
EDIT:
Supermicro X8SIL-F
ASUS P7H55-M
Dell PowerEdge T110 Server Motherboard X744K 0X744k
Dell PowerEdge T310 Server Motherboard 0MNFTH
PS: I don't know this brand (Supermicro)

hello
in theory, any micro ATX motherboard will do
unless you want to keep the current CPU, in which case you'll need a motherboard with Intel support compatible with this CPU at the chipset level
but as Guillaume points out, there are other criteria to consider
first of all, make sure the motherboard is indeed dead
if so, is the CPU affected or not, and if not, do you want to keep it? or take advantage of the change to get a more powerful one?
sometimes it's better to change everything for a complete upgrade kit (motherboard/CPU and cooler/RAM) because if you only change the motherboard, the RAM may not be the same, and you'll also have to change it, with no possibility of recycling it, in short, this is an important detail in the end
you also need to check if the case is recent, if the power supply is adequate, or if it still offers extension bays; for example, if you switch to a motherboard with internal USB 3, you'll need to plan a bay to bring the USB 3 to the front
regarding PCI, it won't change much
here’s a budget kit

of course, you need to consider what you will demand from your PC: it's useless to hope to game with this type of kit
if the case is getting old too, ask yourself whether to change everything for a more modern unit, it all depends on the budget, of course, but it's almost Christmas -
Thank you for your responses.
Lexcy: the BIOS doesn't even start, so I can't do a BIOS update. But really, thank you for your response.
Guillaume27960: here is my PC configuration http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=fr&lc=fr&dlc=fr&docname=c02581861#N158
nadellen: thank you for your response, this PC isn't used for gaming at all (except for my old Warcraft 2!!) I wanted to bring it back into service because it mainly serves as a "multimedia hard drive." It is connected to my TV. The hard drives contain my entire life (!!!) even though I know I can recover them.
Maybe I should go to my repairman; at worst, it will only cost me the estimate.
If I decide to go for an EVO kit, would I also need to reinstall W7? If so, would I have issues with my OEM version? -
Good evening
I can recommend the "ASUS P7H55-M" even though it's hard to find on Amazon; it's still affordable at €80 and fully equipped
Pros
Price
Ability to overclock with voltage control, and it's also equipped with a heatsink for that.
Memory up to 2133Hz, overclockable to 2200Hz DDR3
7.1 audio
Intel H55 Express chipset
LGA1156 socket
Cons
DirectX10
No dual BIOS
Memory up to 16GB
Conclusion: ideal for gaming
If you're not gaming, then there are plenty of others available for under €50, there you go :D
There are no problems; there are only solutions -
Thank you, Guillaume!
When you say all the others, could you please provide me with 2-3 references?
Thank you. -
re
if you change the motherboard to a different manufacturer and design, it's better to reinstall Windows
in some cases, it can be avoided, and it's never guaranteed
but be careful!
in theory, when you just change the motherboard, you can simply download the drivers before installing it and setting it up (before removing the other one, but for you, that’s impossible since your PC won’t boot anymore
license side, you’re changing the CPU, so the OEM license is almost lost with a 95% chance.. maybe even 98
there might only be one solution, which would be to try to reinstall the system from a recovery partition (recovery) or a disk image created at the first startup of the PC
or have the so-called "master" DVDs that you buy from the manufacturer on their site
and even then.. I'm not sure, since the license has already been activated..
another, more certain solution
find the same used motherboard and put your own CPU on it
in all other cases <gras> for the OEM license I am pessimistic </gras> that's why it's better to start by asking advice from a professional when counting the parts, even at a minimum one motherboard, + the memory if they are not the same, and there’s a good chance they won't be + a system + + +I don't know what else..
think carefully, a new assembled tower with the system of your choice doesn’t cost that much; ask for quotes -
Re
In short, motherboards with the 1156 socket are completely outdated after more than an hour of research; the LGA1156 socket is dead, and the only available motherboards are excessively expensive...
And those that I found are no longer for sale...
the cheapest I found >:( CLICK HERE
it's junk!
PCex x8
I did my best... with a bit of luck your repairman has some tips to find you a motherboard with an LGA1156 socket because online there's nothing/expensive...
Here’s a short list of all the boards I found:
Intel Server Board S3420GPV........................................ 180€ - 202€
SUPERMICRO X8SIL...................................................... 201€ - 284€
SUPERMICRO X8SI6-F................................................... 202€ - 354€
ASUS P7F-M.................................................................. 213€ - 227€

Supermicro MBD-X8SIE-F-O........................................... 222€
SUPERMICRO X8SIE-LN4F............................................. 228€
SUPERMICRO X8SIE-F................................................... 230€ - 243€
Intel Server Board S3420GPLX....................................... 272€ - 324€
SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F.................................................... 308€
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4.................................................. 348€
MSI Big Bang FUZION..................................................... 394€
from the - cheap + (These can be purchased online but not the first ones above)
Sorry if I gave false hope, but it might be time to change configurations...
There are no problems; there are only solutions -
Look on this page, there are motherboards that seem identical to yours, which could save your CPU, your RAM, and your license...
I'm not knowledgeable enough to verify all the differences between the offers, ask Guillaume for advice as he might be able to better advise you on which one to choose.
