[SOLVED] Can i use an i7 970 with a z4000 workstation motherboard?

[Devin latulippe]

Hello, i am putting together a cheap system to use for work and light gaming, i had an i7 970 on hand and i needed to find a cheap good motherboard for that socket, i found a z4000 lga 1366 motherboard for around $40, i looked at the supported cpu list for that motherboard and it was only xeons, but is there anyway for an i7 to work on it considering its the same socket?

Afaik - no, the bios only supports the Xeons

Damn, thats a shame. Are there any cheap lga 1136 motherboards that support i7s?
