Is it theoretically possible?

The word to look for is THEORETICALLY, because as far as I know there is no such thing available. 

 

What am I looking for?

 

A dual socket motherboard that allows me to combine any two Intel CPUs built in the last 5 years. 

 

So could such a board be made, or is there some incompatibility issues that you wouldn't be able to work around? 

 

:D

It is possible but for now such a board does not exist at a consumer level.

Anyone here that really likes to build PC stuff from scratch and is up for the challenge to write basic guide on how to make one? ;)

no he means combine ANY two intel cpu's.

 

like say a E6600 and a core i5 2400.

 

I don't think anybody could help you with this.

 

it would have to be done officially by intel to actually work properly.

Very possible, but since intel doesn't provide a chipset with that functionality, you will have to manufacture your own chipset... Good luck with that ;)

The only thing that's stopping you, is sockets. If you can figure out a way to have interchangeable sockets, you're golden!

I'd say it would be possible to build a motherboard with similar sockets, such as an AM2 and an AM3+, or an Intel 1156 and an 1155, but I doubt that anyone would bother. The market for such a board would be very, very small and the socket choices too varied.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

Its just that I just bought a 4770K and I until now I had a i7-930. Now If i sell the old one i get like 30 bucks for it, so If i would be able to combine their power, it would help a lot more. I'll keep at it until I find the people that make one for me
