I'm facing some issues with my ASUS GT51-CH PC that uses an Intel LGA 1151 socket. The water cooling head slips during paste changes, causing bending and no improvement. I considered replacing the motherboard, but it wasn't available. Instead, I switched to a similar model like the ASUS Z170-I/GT51CA/DP_MB, which has the same socket. Everything else seems fine—lights up, fans spin, RAM power works, GPU is functional.

You'll require an Intel i5 processor for that motherboard.

You might require a 6th generation processor like an i7-6700K. Swapping out the motherboard could be another choice, allowing you to purchase a Z270 board instead.
