chipset questions

[jdoglegacy]

I feel like a lot of these questions are "no brainers" but stick with me, its confusing as hell

I know the mother board has a chipset, does a cpu also have one and thats why they must match up?

Is the chipset titled by the cpu's name for example fx-8350 cpu would the chipset be the 8000 series?

The chipset for the FX series are: 990x/990fx/970/760 (although I'd only put an FX8 cpu on a 990x/990fx board -- the other chipsets are more budget chipsets and are on boards that can't properly handle the FX8).

The chipset is basically the bridge between the cpu and the motherboard -- so no, a cpu doesn't have a chipset on it.

He is right, but kind of in my eyes... See for me you need to dumb things down, so they need to match, for intel at least, I don't know jack about AMD except they overheat, but anyway like an LGA 1155 CPU needs an LGA 1155 Socket on the motherboard.

 

And djdwosk I'm going to kidnap you and make you do my cable management for me.

Bring it to me and I'll happily manage it so the panel slides on with ease.

Dude mine is so bad... My panel on my H440 is now warped because I have to use my body weight to have it latch on.

does ddr convert to gddr because it is very hard to find equipment that all matches ddr3?

DDR is regular ram, and GDDR is Graphics ram. No it's not hard to find stuff that uses DDR3 ram. It's very common. I believe only X99 motherboards use DDR4 ram.

WOW that makes sense, does that mean if you have ram that is ddr3 you don't need to match up the vram with gddr3... or what?

You don't need to match the GDDR ram to the DDR ram, for example, my graphics card has GDDR5 Ram and my motherboard has DDR3 Ram sticks on it. Does all of this make sense?

yea, the ram types don't have to match up got it
