I already have the 6570 and I know it works perfectly with my setup . . . that’s pretty much the only reason why I’m keeping it. 😉
I’m looking at the i5-3450S, it’s only a 65W CPU. Still hot but better than what I have.
I had considered just going with another Sandy Bridge setup like an i3-2105 but the price difference between IB/SB is not very much at all.
That Intel board looks like it would fit if there is sufficient length clearance on the slot “north” of the 16x slot. Certainly better than what I am using now; see attachment.
