Hi guys just a quick question as i've seen on a website a LGA1156 Xeon CPU is said to be compatible with my motherboard and knowing the LGA1366 platform is the upgraded version of the LGA1156.

My question here is that will my LGA1156 I5 CPU run in my Asus Rampage iii Extreme with the lga 1366 socket as I need to test this mobo and was hoping to not spend lots of money on this as if its dead then i've lost out.

The only testing i've done is to see it powers on and spins some fans as I have no lga1366 cpu
 
Solution
That's just a mistake. NONE of these sockets are cross-compatible. LGA 1155 and LGA 1156 are completely incompatible. And each of them are completely incompatible with LGA 1366.

http://www.game-debate.com/motherboard/index.php?mot_id=22&cpuList=Asus%20Rampage%20III%20Extreme

in this link its showing the intel xeon x3430(LGA1156) being compatible with my Asus rampage iii extreme (LGA1366)
from this I gather the sockets are roughly the same maybe some extra pins on the LGA1366 as its the more advanced version??

whats the worst that can happen if i throw the chip in and power up the board as this is just an old pc i have laying around

thanks for the reply!!
