compatibility help plz

[cruxmarauder]

hey I had nowhere to turn so I come to you guys i have 2 questions

1) I have a intel i7 4700mq "lying around" and I want to chuck it into a mini-itx motherboard but theres all this AM1 stuff on the cheap motherboards which apparently means that my i7 wont work there, could someone reccomend a cheap motherboard (im talking under £50 if possible) that is compatibly

2)EDIT:question solved/proved impossible

Sorry for troubling u guys with this post but its kinda a nice project i wanna do

I'm pretty sure you cannot use this in a regular mobo, you need a laptop mobo, with the laptop cooling (unless you want to mod).

Yeah that's not going to work...

Yep, you have to search for a notebook mainboard that supports the CPU (FCPGA946 also known as "G3" with a support for 47Watts TDP) and your decicaded GPU.

Pretty sure you won't find this under £50, since High-End notebook hardware is pretty pricey.

Also I don't know any notebook model or mainboard that support both of these aspects.

You can always mod some facny cooling on there, since you don't plan to use in in a Notebook (?).

But hardware wise, you have to use notebook parts for this.

mkay

so I get I should give up on the laptop gpu for now (ill chuck it in when I get the motherboard to hope), so what about my first question, any god reccomendations

[Thx And Bye]

Like i said, you need a Notebook Mainboard for this. (FCPGA946 socket also known as "G3" with a support for 47Watts TDP)

Just search for a Notebook with that CPU, and search for a Mainboard from this model.
