hello all,

could anyone please tell me if the i7 4790k is compatible with the new asus rampage V extreme?

any response asap would be amazing! thanks
 
Solution
4790K is LGA 1150 Chipset, Rampage Extreme is 2011 chipset, no the are not compatible

i7 4820K at a slightly lower price would be compatible with that board,
Xeon E5-2620-V2 is a 6core for a few dozen bucks more

yea it seems the rampage V only supports ddr4, man this will be expensive!

what other mobos can you recommend out there for intel thats future proof and really good?
 
What is your budget and which parts do you need?

In terms of processor, i7 4790K is future proof enough, 5820K is extreme overkill for a gamer, for which an i5 is recommended 99% of the time. I built my 4790K a month ago for performance in the video editing uses, not gaming alone, x99 would have been even more overkill than i'd want to pay for and sacrifice performance of other parts to keep in budget lol... don't know what your use for the system will be?
