Sandy Bridge CPU on Ivy bridge motherboard doable?

[drdeathx]

still i did the work for him really isnt that hard to google it

google the CPU does it have VT-d or w.e if yes now check mobo you want does it support it yes? awesome

as for his original question it really only took a google search lol

Normally im not a douche but seriously the initial links took 5 seconds of googling. The phrase help those that help themselves comes to mind.

the Virtualization question was a valid one as even if a CPU supports it the mobo might not but as you can see in the OP all he was asking was sandy bridge on socket z77

example

Google : z77 support sandy bridge?
scroll down you will find

which is a reviewer testing a 2600k on z77 kinda says it all took less then 10 seconds to find that answer.

I don't mind helping people but it sure would be nice if they actually put in a little effort first. Most of the time people tend to be lazy and expect someone else to do the leg work which as you can guess gets real old real quick when 100s do it on a daily basis.

This is what the club is for. I think it is not up to us to comment why persons ask questions here. You came across as a donkey in the hole.

well good im glad i did if it means those reading the thread take 10 seconds of their lives to phrase a proper question in google then i have succeeded in a sense lol as far as I am concerned anyway. granted i suppose googling on a smartphone can be a pain in the ass but i digress other than that the information was easily available could i have been nicer sure however i do find it funny you kinda pull me out of the pack when i strongly suggest google a few other posters out right insult him but yes im the jackass at least im good at something

Hey Crazy. Look, don't get me wrong, I have alot of respect for your knowledge and the amount of advise you give on these forums. And I fully understand what your saying about people being lazy. If a post makes you feel that way, just don't respond and leave it for someone else.

Same to you cd, both you guys have been on TPU as long as I can remember, and have pretty much become known as "TPU regulars", as I like to consider myself aswell. And with that, atleast in my honest opinion, it's kinda on us, and the other "TPU regulars" to help keep TPU's reputation as being one of the best and most friendly tech sites intact.

Just saying.....

Looking at some of these replies to the OP makes me scared to ask questions now.
I know Google works and it's easy but i trust the posts here in TPU the most and it makes me feel sure of what i am doing.

I feel the same. Infact there have been plenty of times that I did google my answer, and then still asked here just to confirm what I was going to do or what I thought the answer was was correct.

wow

how hard was it to say no you will be ok just pick a z77 that has the features you want.

way to make yourself look like a cock crazy...

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

^ which is fine but at least put in a LITTLE effort is all im saying

had the OP said

I looked up what i could find on VT-D but im seeing conflicting information the CPU says it supports it as well as the chipset yet boards don't i do not understand why etc their are better ways to phrase the question people just need to not be so lazy about it is all im saying.

sometimes yes their is no info available which sucks and TPUs knowledge base is great for that but when i can litterally find all the answers in 10 seconds on google it kinda pisses me off its like they didnt even TRY at all. I digress tho maybe i was a bit off putting but i wasn't that bad. and I still answered his question then I backed it up with multiple vendors etc.

had he asked about VT-d in the first post my entire post would have been different as it really is a bit convulted in terms of its actual support lol

also tell me those calling me out for being a jackass how are you any different from me? your essentially all doing the same thing

 

[Velvet Wafer]

really guys... i always try to answer questions as long as i see the information gets progressed by the OP... if that stops or i get dumb questions, i do something that many people seem to have forgotten about... i step away from the thread, and do something more useful than arguing or spoon feeding

just my 2cents.

also:

Take a drink

also tell me those calling me out for being a jackass how are you any different from me? your essentially all doing the same thing

I haven't called you a jackass, I only asked

Why is everyone being such a dick to the OP?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

not you the dude directly above me im a cock apparently and above that a donkey in the hole. Yet what you said kinda comes to a front doesnt it, i didnt have to post but neither did THEY trolling is fun. as their calling me out for being a bit short with the guy shows the same behavior thus they are no better than me in this regard making this thread epic win

 

[remixedcat]

everybody calm yo tits

Question has been answered. I have no idea what is wrong with some of you people but you need to change your attitude or just leave TPU. If you don't feel like leaving some of the mods will be happy to show you the door. I know I'm getting fed up with some of the behavior lately.

I remember when this used to be a good forum. Full of helpful and friendly folk. Seems like everything has changed for the worse lately. :shadedshu

I agree. Believe me, myself and hopefully the rest of the mods are going to be weeding out these people making TPU a less friendly place.
