[bigg34]

hi,

i have LGA 775 motherboard now but i want to upgrade my motherboard so i can upgrade to i5 Quadcore CPU later.

I am looking for a a cheap good 1156 board that has good overclocking features.

whats wrong with 1156?

1156 motherboards seem to be good with the features and stuff???

 

[Red_Machine]

They've been replaced by socket 1155 and Sandybridge CPUs.

Nothing wrong, it's just that it's old tech. They're being phased out.

You do realise that you won't be able to use the new board until you get a new CPU also. Not trying to make you feel stupid, but the way you worded what I quoted, it sounds like you wanna use your current cpu with the new board until you get the money for the new cpu..

I agree with others are saying, get a 1155 socket board/cpu. 1156 is good, be it's already been replaced by 1155 and 1155 processors are better.

an Asus p7p55 premium (sata6, usb3) is 132 € at Alternate.de
without sata6usb3 its 115 €

An Asus P8... Pro rev 3.1 is 150 €
of course, there are mobos at 100 €, even Asus...
the processors for 1156 are cheaper.

If you look around , maybe you save 100 €. If you do not care for latest greatest. (it WAS latest greatest just 1 year ago, haha

yeah better 1155, coz intel run 1155 now, not 1156

 

[bigg34]

ohhh, so when did 1156 motherboard were even released????

i thought LGA 775 is now being phased out and that 1156 is pretty new.

also there are a few variants of i5 cpu. there is a 1155, 1156 and dual core versions.

whats the difference? which one is faster or better???

i want a quadcore i5.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

they make I5 quad cores for 1155. The 2500k i5 quad is the best price/performance cpu available today

[micropage7]

yeah after 775, intel run 1156 just for short time, now they run 1155 and it looks for longer time
all of them is multi core, the difference is feature that supported

actually, it was 775-1366-1156-1155

 

[bigg34]

i didnt know that.

how about this? http://www.alphacity.co.nz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67_384_489&products_id=75193

a good deal for quadcore?

 

[erixx]

all this is bullshit.
In the shops there are still plenty of ALL the four intel series, from 775 etc... Do refrain from making this kid mad and geek! LOL

Let's ask him what the purpose of this PC is.... Maybe not as e-peen or 3dMark/Crysis 2 benchmarking?

if you don't plan on doing any OC'ing, yes. If you want to OC, get the 2500k. Only the cpus with the K in the name OC on the 1155 socket.

Yeah, ok, let's advise him to NOT get the most for his money. BTW, how do you know he/she is a kid? As far as we know, bigg34 is 34 years old.

 

[bigg34]

guys, i am actually 24 . so im not a kid.

so u mean its impossible to overclock an i5 if its not 2500k??????

but i am trying to get a budget motherboard with an overclocking feature.

 

[bigg34]

also what if i buy an 1156 motherboard and an 1156 quadcore i5?

still i cant overclock at all????

 

[BarbaricSoul]

it's almost impossible and you won't get much of a OC out of a non-K cpu. The K series CPUs have a unlocked multiplier, which allows about 80% of all K series CPUs to OC to atleast 4.5ghz.

 

[erixx]

hey mate, kid is friendly not derogatory. call me a kid if you like, im 45
I have a 1156 i5 750 and I can overclock it and run it at 4100 Mhz, but for everyday use I have it a 3800 ROCKSTABLE.
Now talk about 'most' for the money.... lol

Of course, if you want it, like it, love it go 1155, of course... it has this latest greatest illusion feature build-in... (until the newest arrives 6 month later)

 

[BarbaricSoul]

also what if i buy an 1156 motherboard and an 1156 quadcore i5?

you would be able to OC a 1156 cpu no problem. The problem would be come time to upgrade, you would probably have to do another full system rebuild as they aren't releasing any new CPUs for 1156, but they are stil releasing new CPUs for 1155.

 

[bigg34]

if i buy an 1156 i5 cpu, which is at 2.8ghz, how much u think i can overclock it??? i mean the non K version.

 

[micropage7]

most of today board and processor can be overclocked but some of them have better oc performance, so if you want to buy that it will be ok

 

[BarbaricSoul]

i mean the non K version.

K versions CPUs are only for 1155
