Hi to start of with im new to this site and im a novice or noob you can say when it comes to computer's so take it easy on me, thanks, well to get to the question i have a nividia nforce 680i sli spp mobo/motherboard, it has a LGA 775 socket now here's my problem i want to upgrade my cpu/processor to a better one, right now i have a core 2 extreme qx 6700 which is good but doesnt have enough for what i want to do, now i looked at the site my motherboard is on which is http://www.nvidia.com/object/designed_by_nvidia_680i_lt_sli.html and it says it's compatible with these different cpu/processors's also if it matter my rig is water cooled.
Core 2 Extreme
(dual and quad core)
Core 2 Quad
Core 2 Duo
Celeron D
Pentium 4
Pentium D 9XX
Pentium D 8XX
now im looking into the core 2 extreme cpu's and i found two different one that i like and will be better then the one i have, my question is will any core 2 extreme cpu work with my mobo/motherboard or is it only certain one's in that series, because im looking at the intel core 2 extreme qx6850 cpu and the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 the 9770 is much better the the 6850 but what i want to know is which one will work and if i am completely wrong in all of this what will work thats better the the 6700? thanks for reading
