LGA 775

[Kevguy]

Wasn't that intel's most successful socket?

[catzambia]

[kameshss]

Yeah.

 

Because I have one.

Yup it lasted quite long but with tons of chipsets.

My core 2 duo e8400 still sitting in one of them sockets

[harrynowl]

Yea but it's also the reason that Intel change their sockets so often now, because 775 had loads of different chipsets some of which had different support levels for certain FSBs or generation and it was a bit confusing.

I only retired last year a dell core 2 duo E8600. The people I gave it too still use it.

Im too poor to retire it

They can still be useful...even light gaming.

[Blebekblebek]

yeah, kinda

 

even at the end of life Q9000 series considerably still better than 1st gen i5

so many chipset, and the last platform for 3rd party company making their own chipset (SiS, ViA, Nvidia)

if you have dual core CPU (E1000-E8000), you can easily pick wide selection of motherboard starting from 945 to the latest G/P/X45 (lower than 945 only supports Pentium 4)

 

however, I do remember according to Intel it also the platform where they stuck with progressing. They stick with consumer friendly progression (which is compatibility) to regain trust from their consumer.

 

because.. I don't know, I don't see many complaints now

have anyone ever thought how many socket change for the past 5 years for intel?1366, 1156, 1155, 1155, 1151, 2011, 2011v3.

I force it to run bf3 and nfs rivals

I could probably play war thunder on mine on medium settings.

[iHardware Shelden]

Definitely! I own to many 775 systems.... great platform and still very usable for most people today. I am actually installing Windows on a Core 2 Duo E6850 system right now to use for Boinc  

[Tweakforce_LG]

Does win 10 work on a e8400 well?

Like a champ!

Sadly i rolled back my i5 laptop to 7 and it failed, had the whipe and re install, is there an effective way of moving data back after i made a copy of the c drive, e.g. game saves, files

Socket 775 has been around for 11 years, starting with the 915 chipset. Intel did try to reintroduce, 2 high-end chipsets with their socket 1155, it was z77 and z75. Both support unlock cpus and the z75 was much cheaper. Too bad only asrock made boards with the z75 and it wasn't too popular so intel stop doing it.

[Kevguy]

Maybe Intel should be petitioned to bring back socket 775???

By todays standards the socket and chipset design are far too old

[arniks8]

By todays standards the socket and chipset design are far too old

I think he meant an upgraded version of it.

[harrynowl]

I think he meant an upgraded version of it.

I figured as much, either way what I meant was it probably wouldn't work from a design standpoint either way.

 

Which was the reason Intel went from 775 pins to 1156 to begin with, the 775 package was designed on very previous generation stuff (External IMCs, Northbridges etc) given that a lot of the things that are now on the CPU (aka uncore) were part of the board back then.

True.
