CPU is no longer working

[TheRealSon]

Guys I am in need of a new CPU,

 

I belive my MoBo is still fully functional and is an LGA1155 socket. I am considering upgrading to an LGA1150 Haswell refresh with the Pentium G3258 and overclocking the hell out of it. Any opinioins are welcome on what I should do either upgrading or stickeing with my current socket.

Instead of spending money on a mobo + cpu combo get a 2500K or 3570K they both kick ass.

Well get another one, the pentium is a awesome cpu and all but you have a full working motherboard so why waste it, get a 3570K and upgrade when Skylake comes or something lol that CPU is really almost the same as a 4690K..

and what is 1156 for? and what socket has ivy bridge?

I Think its for the first gen i7/i5

1156 is for the first gen i7 processors (Nelahem) such as the i7-930, and Ivy Bridge is on 1155.

No lol 1156 was for lynnfield and clarkdale.

I get my CPU generations mixed up rather easily.

Prescot: LGA775

Conroe: LGA775

Wolfdale: LGA775

Lynnfield/Clarkdale: LGA1156 (e.g. i3 550 + i5 750)

Westmere-E/Bloomfield: LGA1366 (e.g. i7 980x)

Sandybridge: LGA1155

Ivy Bridge: LGA1155

Haswell: LGA1150

Broadwell: LGA1150

Skylake: LGA1151

if I bought the lga 1155mobo when the sandy bridge series came out, do I need tp update the Bios when I install an 3xxx series cpu?

Yes, you will have to update to newest bios to use an Ivy Bridge processor. Assuming you are talking about a Z68 motherboard. There are also some P67 boards that have Ivy Bridge support with an updated Bios.

Z68 boards come with the required bios for Ivy bridge unless its been 3 year in stock in the shop. You can always order the bios chip from ebay, the bios chips on most boards are modular and not soldered.
