LGA1150 and LGA1366

[IsmetGS]

Hi all,

 

I have the Asus Rampage III Black Edition MB and it has a LGA1366 Socket. If I were to buy a Intel i7 4790k which has a LGA1150 Socket would it work with my motherboard at all?

 

Thanks,

Ismet

[SeanAngelo]

nope it wouldnt.

[Wauthar]

No, that won't work because it's an entire different socket. The number is based on the amount of pins in the socket. You would destroy either one (or both) of them if you tried.

[NeatSquidYT]

Nope. Different socket and chipset.

[Pugs501]

NOPE!

Which Processor would work with my MB which is recent or good. My current CPU is the Intel i7 960

To my knowledge, that is pretty much as high as you can get (or is there the i7 980?). Not sure if there are some 1366 Xeon's out there (which may or may not be more powerful).

If you feel the need to upgrade, I'd suggest a new motherboard with a new CPU.

 

EDIT: see @Pugs501

You can get Xeon X5650s cheap that are basically i7 980Xs. 6 cores and usually overclock very well.

Well the socket is discontinued so there isn't anything exactly new. You could look at a xeon x5650. Has 6 cores (which are hyperthreaded meaning you get a total of 12 threads) and is very overclockable. Once overclocked to around 4 ghz it is known to match current i7s in terms of performance (multi threaded ofc).

that's going to be awfully expensive

Another question to you guys,

 

Would a 5960X for example work with a socket 2011 instead of a 2011-3?

No, 2011-3 is X99 and is the only socket the 5960x works in. I believe 2011 v1 would be 3960x, 3930k, and 3820.

So say i bought a Asus Rampage IV Black Edition OR a Gigabyte X99 UD3 and i also bought a Intel 5930X would it be compatible with the both of them?

Rampage IV won't be compatible since it's X79, but the Gigabyte X99 UD3 will be (X99 = 5960x, 5930k, 5820k). BTW 5930k is just a higher clocked 5820k with more PCI lanes, so unless you're going 3+ way SLI, it's not worth it imo.

He could get Z97

Unless you plan on really, truely taking advantage of 6+ physical cores, using 32+gb of ram, having 2 vid cards and and M.2 drive, go for Haswell & socket 1150.

It would help to know what you use you computer for, and if the i7-960 is holding you back.

Well basically i'm not even sure if im suppose to upgrade the cpu or to a SSD. All my programmes launch so slowly even chrome and the programmes don't respond a lot (I checked multiple times for a virus, clean as a whistle).

 

Specs:

 

Windows 7 Home Premium

 

Intel i7 960

 

EVGA GTX 770 SC SCX

 

12GB RAM

 

1TB HDD

SSD. My poor as hell dual core AMD felt lightning quick after getting a Mushkin SSD. Figure out your budget, your needs (240gb is sweetspot $100-$150CAD, I have Windows, League and Office & some steam games on there). Check the reviews of things in your budget (bias: I'm happy with my Mushkin, Samsung, Corsair, and Crucial are good brands). Once you have it, either clone your os and some programs with something like Acronis, or do a fresh Windows install if you can.

Me personally, Windows boots in 10secs on a nearly full ssd vs 65secs on a nearly empty WD Blue. Having gamed on my friend's i7-920, it's not bad, but an ssd will help. Do check if you mobo has a SATA Rev.3 6Gbit/s port, and use that.

In that case, don't worry so much about speed as reliability and warranty. Forgot to mention that Intel also makes rock solid ssds.

Speed isn't an issue because your computer can't max out the speed of the SSD itself, but it will still be much faster than a hard drive. Plus, if you later on upgrade your mobo & cpu, the ssd will run much closer to its rated speed.

Still, unless you really want/need to have a much faster system now, go foe the ssd, and decide if say Broadwell or Skylake make sense for you in 18-24 months.

Okay, thanks for all the help
