2 different CPU in 1 socket

[dragoncurt]

If I have a LGA1155 socket motherboard can I put either 32nm or a 22nm CPU in here like 2nd or 3rd gen i3 i5 and i7.

 

As the website states in the cpu support that it does allow it. Just wondering. Thanks

So long as they are the same socket, yes. You just might need a BIOS update but beyond that it should work fine.

Oh right okay then. Thanks

Does this mean if the new kaby lake comes out I can put it in my lga1151 motherboard if the bios update comes for it. Thanks 

 

As kaby lake is 14nm.

 

Thanks

Yah, it should be just like Haswell-E and Broadwell-E on the x99 platform where you just needed a BIOS update to support the Broadwell-E CPUs.

Oh yh I seen a lot of people on youtube talking about the x99 platform and got the new cpu working with it. Thanks

The CPU needs to be the same socket of the motherboard, if you're currently using an LGA 1155 Socket motherboard, it doesn't matter what chipset or BIOS is on it, it'll never support anything newer than socket LGA 1155, because everything after that had a different number of pins on the CPU, like 1150, and 1151.

so the nu,ber of pins is the socket number, mindblown
