Unless you're using say a 1156 motherboard with a 1155 CPU, a motherboard will not bottleneck you.

Bottlenecks usually come from either the CPU, GPU, or less commonly, RAM.

The motherboard is not a bottleneck, per se. What makes you think you have a bottleneck issue?

There is no way to install a 1155 CPU into a 1156 motherboard and get it to work, BTW.

Your second comment, however, is correct. Bottlenecks usually occur between CPUs and GPUs.

I know, it was a compatibility joke, I'm sorry that you didn't get that.
