compatibility check

[DRK_Draken]

so i as wondering if a i7 4790k would work with a dell optiplex 790 mobo

No, the Optiplex 790 uses a 2nd gen Intel Core board. If it's the mini tower and not one of the small form factors, you could run up to a i7 2600 non-K in there, which you could likely find for quite cheap at this point.

There is a physical incompatibility between the sockets, you'd end up breaking the pins in the LGA, and even if you did manage to get it in there applying power might wreck everything. I edited that post above to add some info, if you have the mini tower and not a small form factor 790, you could put an i7 2600 in it but I wouldn't go with a K variant. It's probably not validated and BIOS supported, but even if it worked there's a chance the power delivery on the board is not sufficient.

well an 1150 isn't going to work in an 1155 board. 1150 boards aren't much $ though

You wouldn't even be able to insert it into the socket...

It's a used mobo, so maybe try and get a replacement.

 

Also, the seller put "NO BATTERY" in all caps in the listing, which makes me think that the motherboard might not come with a cmos battery. Double check, as it would be easy to miss at first glance
