my P7H55M Intel® Socket 1156 seem to have died on me
and in the area i live i cant seem to find a new one or any other motherbord with socket 1156

and now for the silly question
can a cpu of 1156 socket work in any other socket ?
like 1150 or just any other
( am allmost 100% sure this no but i have to be sure befor i buy new cpu to )
 
Solution
Nope, the CPU and socket have to be compatible to work with one another. That socket is pretty dated now, you'd probably only find a used chip on eBay and maybe Amazon.
