Will this motherboard and CPU work together?

TheGermanAshton · Mar 15, 2015

This is my current Motherboard:

This is the CPU I am wanting to purchase.

Are these compatible, and will I be able to use these together? Thank you.

gregbattis · Mar 15, 2015

You gave the link for 2 cpus. A intel and amd. Both of those use different sockets.

TheGermanAshton · Mar 15, 2015

Lmao, I'm an idiot. One moment.

This is my current motherboard

TheGermanAshton · Mar 15, 2015

Will they work together? And if not, what should I do?

gregbattis · Mar 15, 2015

The amd cpu will as long as you got a decent psu you should be fine. You can use a psu calculator like this one and add 50w to it to be sure you are going to be safe on power. http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

Wait, I think you misunderstood me. Let me say this all again. I am wanting to get THIS processor: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9085222&pagenumber=1&RSort=1&csid=ITD&recordsPerPage=5&body=REVIEWS#CustomerReviewsBlock

Will that CPU work with this Motherboard?http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128651

I hope I rephrased that a bit better. Will they be compatible? Thanks

TheGermanAshton :

Ha??? am3+ mobo with i7 1150? NO, they won't work

for your current mobo, your options are fx 63xx, fx 83xx, fx 95xx. Cannot upgrade to haswell 1150 with that mobo

gregbattis · Mar 15, 2015

No they wont work. I got confused when you put 2 cpu links in the discription. For that cpu you need to have a lga 1150 mobo and cpu. You can use power search on newegg to find and narrow down your search to find only lga1150 socket mobos.

Tradesman1 · Mar 15, 2015

You need an 1150 mobo, do you have a budget? If thinking of OCing at all will want a Z97 mobo

Walker Firmin · Mar 15, 2015

You need to do your research on AMD 970 chipsets because this is the chipset on your mother board so you have to have a processor that matches this chipset

Tradesman1 · Mar 15, 2015

To clarify, ignore current mobo, TheGermanAshton (OP) wants to get a 4790K - TheGermanAshton, pls correct me if I'm wrong

Have asked for a budget to define what fits for him.........

TheGermanAshton · Mar 15, 2015

Okay, this is my last question. I am going to scrap my current Mobo and get a new one so I can use the CPU I want. This is the PC part picker link.

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ripit70/saved/#view=ChpRsY

I listed everything that I could think would have a conflict. As it stands, all of that is already in my PC, but the only thing that is new is the CPU and the Motherboard. Does this look like everything here will be compatible together? Also, if it does work, Is this a pretty good PC for streaming in High quality with good performance?

gregbattis · Mar 15, 2015

TheGermanAshton :

Everything looks good and will all work together.

TheGermanAshton · Mar 15, 2015

Awesome. So, last question then Imma do some more research and order tomorrow. I'm getting about 200+FPS on CSGO when I play without streaming, but when I stream I get about 80-100 and everything runs choppy and like ass. Will getting this processor get rid of that and allow me to stream with smooth game performance and not notice a hit from streaming?

Tradesman1 · Mar 16, 2015

This should be much better, though keep in mind when both streamng and gaming, other things impact how smooth all is, your internet connection, the GPU even the DRAM - i.e. with DRAM intensive games, the streaming running at same time can impact the gaming and the streaming if you run low and have to start using the page file

TheGermanAshton · Mar 16, 2015

Thanks everyone. Hoping this build will do what I need it to do.

gregbattis · Mar 16, 2015

Thanks for stopping by the fourms
