There are some fairly decent 8th gen boards on amazon and ebay for around £40 to £60 new eg msi or Asus b365m. If need be I can post some links to you.

2021-10-13T16:54:54+00:00 I could be wrong but I think there was a security vulnerability that the 7th gen and below has that the 8th gens and above don't which is why I think they chose to do it this way. I have a HWinfo report which compares the 6th gen 6100, 7th gen 7700K and 8th gen 8100 if anyone wants to take a look.
