Will a 4790K fit in a Rampage V ?

[The-Matza]

I am making a build and I really want the Rampage V to be a part of it but my CPU of choise is the i7 4790K

Rampage V socket : 2011-v3 

i7 4790K : LGA1150

Can it fit ? If not what do I do ?

(I will be using Dual Gigabyte Windforce GTX 980 

I will be uploading on youtube abd i will be streaming. I will be also doing some heavy video editing like after effects and stuff.

Dont forget 4K gaming)

Fit? Yes, 2011 CPU's are huge. 

Work? No.

 

Buy a Maximus VII board.

The 4790k won't work with the Rampage V Extreme and considering you're planning on heavy video editing I'd recommend stepping up to a 5820k

The Rampage has a completely different socket compared to what the CPU has. 

 

The 4790k will not work with a Rampage. 

 

If your budget will allow, I would go for a 2011 socket CPU. 

 

If not, then get a 1150 compatible motherboard for your CPU.

Nope, the rampage V has an LGA-2011 socket, unless you want to buy CPU's meant for LGA 2011, but they are quite expensive.

just step up to the 5820k

[TheKDub]

Yes it will fit, but no it won't work.

 

The sockets have to be the same for the CPU and motherboard for it to work.

just shell out a few more pretty pennies for the 5820k

+2 cores will help when doing things like heavy video work, live streaming, etc

I'm going to go against the 5820K recommendations even though I use one and really like it.

 

NEVER spend more on your motherboard than you do on your CPU. That motherboard has a ton of 3.0 x16 PCIe slots too where you might want the 40 lanes from a 5930K especially if the new HBM uses the full 3.0 x16 (not known yet).

 

I'm digging my mATX 5820K build but a $500 mainboard with quad SLI capability deserves a 5930K or 5960X.

 

Just go Z97 unless you are a big time youtuber/streamer with a set upload schedule. I've noticed a large number of people spending thousands on rendering/gaming setups and I come back months later to their videos with single and double digit views. It's sad.
