Core i5-5600k/Core i3-4150 same socket?

[DJXelos]

SO! I'm finally upgrading my bottleneck of a CPU Core i3-4150 and was thinking of getting a Core i5-5600k instead.

Thing is I'm not sure if the socket is the same and therefor, if I need to change my MOBO aswell?

Thanks for the help yall

5600k does not exist!

what's an i5 5600k? i don't see them anywhere. if you're referring to the 6600k, no its a different socket. go with an i5 4460 instead.

I think that you want to get either the i5-6500 or the i5-6600k. Both are not compatible with your motherboard. If i were you, I would get the Xeon 1231 V3 or an i7 4770/4790

I'm sure you mean the i5-6500 or i5-6600K

 

Your i3-4150 is on a socket LGA1150 mobo

The Skylake you want to upgrade to, requires a socket LGA1151 mobo

 

So you will need a new mobo

^^^

 

Just to add, you would also need new RAM. LGA1150 uses DDR3, LGA1151 uses DDR4.

Terribly sorry, op here. I was indeed reffering to the 6600k

get an i5 4460 or an i7/e3 1231 v3 instead, 6600k wont fit in your mobo.

Also in case anyone are curious, I just got a new camera that can shoot high FPS which I need for the type of videos I make. My teeny tiny dual core I3 just doesnt cut it anymore.

Guess I had to upgrade at some point but just cannot afford it right now if I need Mobo, CPU AND 16gb of ram.

thanks for the help anyways guys

hang on if you are doing video editing your better off getting a Xoen E3 1231 V3 (its basicly a i7 non K without the IGPU)

I don't JUST do video editing but also gaming on this machine.

If it's suitable for either I might pick it up, thanks for the advice!

Yes it is, the Xeon / i7 that they suggested is an i5 with HyperThreading so it'll give you more performance in both.

yes you can also game on it. normal 3,4GHz boost 3,8GHz (source: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/415787/intel-xeon-e3-1231-v3-boxed.html)
