I would like to know if this motherboard supports the LGA 1150 socket CPU'S such as the :

Intel Core i5 4590 Quad Core LGA 1150 3.3GHz CPU Processor ?

Im planning to downgrade from Intel Core i7 5820K Haswell-E 6-Core LGA 2011-3 3.3GHz CPU Processor \(current).

Do you think downgrading from Intel Core i7 5820K Haswell-E 6-Core LGA 2011-3 3.3GHz CPU Processor to the i5 cpu will make much differance. I mean when i use this i5 cpu i experiance same performance as the Intel Core i7 5820K Haswell-E 6-Core LGA 2011-3 3.3GHz CPU Processor

I dont even notice the differance. All tasks run at same speed a,lthough the i7 runs 400MHz more than the i5. I think i5 is a bargan to the Intel Core i7 5820K Haswell-E 6-Core LGA 2011-3 3.3GHz CPU Processor..

No it does not.
It exclusively supports the LGA 2011-3 socket.
What is your reasoning behind downgrading? It gets only about 1% less in terms of frame rate compared to the 6700k at the same clock speeds, I don't see any reason why you'd ever want to put yourself back down to 4 threads compared to 12...

Yes, i think that its just a cheap option since i dont notice any major differance in speed of this i7 cpu of mine and the i5 cpu.

The i5 CPU is very like the i7. I think that speed vary but i dont notice any differance in transfering large files, loading skype, photoshop start times, unity loading times, game loading times
