Compatibility with CPU sockets

[Moenator]

So I have a Intel Pentium that has a LGA 1150 but what if I want to change it to an i3 which have a LGA 1156, Is it gonna fit?
Thank you

 

[COLGeek]

No, they are not compatible. Sorry.

 

[Karadjgne]

Lga 1150 has 1150 pins. Lga 1156 has 1156 pins. Physically incompatible.

Sad life so im stuck with pentium >.<

 

[COLGeek]

Your 1150-based Pentium is likely more capable than the older 1156-based i3. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

You can also save a few $$$ and upgrade to an 1150-based i3/i5/i7 if you choose.

Any of the 1150 i5's would be a good upgrade. Simply for games the difference between the pentium and the 4 core i5 is amazing. It'll open up core restricted games like GTA :V, and maximize ability of older games like league of Legends or other online/mmorpg games.

Umm guys Im really really sorry!>.<I thought I have LGA1150 but i turns out I have LGA1155, are those sockets good at gaming?

 

[Karadjgne]

Yes. Nothing wrong at all with Sandy-Bridge or Ivy-Bridge processors. My i7-3770k can handle anything any of the newer cpus can. So can my i5-3570K, both of which are lga1155 Ivy-Bridge cpus. Unfortunately, because of demand and lack of supply, those cpus and motherboards also cost as much as newer models still highly produced. So often it's easier and cheaper to buy new instead of trying to maintain or upgrade older equipment.

yeah its so hard to find 1155 in phil so Im really thinking of buying a new mobo with 1150 cuz its more common here

Edit: I found this online http://www.lazada.com.ph/asus-h81m-d-motherboard-and-intel-pentium-g3250-processor-1022905.html
is it worth buying it?
The things Im gonna build it with are
GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5
8gb Ramd DDR3 1600
Orion PSU ATX-600W V1.2
AC inputs VOLTAGE:230V Current:4A Freq:60HZ
DC output: (+5,28A) (+12V,20A) (-5V,--) (-12,28A) (+3.3V,28A)(+5Vsb,2A)

H81 board means no overclock. And the Pentium G3250 is good for a dual core cpu, but that's it, it's dual core. The 3570k would kick it's butt at stock speeds and blow it out of the water when oc'd. It's definitely a step backwards. Orion psus are terrible, part of the 'Fire Hazard, replace ASAP' crowd.

will this mobo do then?

Can my ORION psu atleast run the GTX750Ti 128bit GDDR5 2GB?
Cuz if it can Im gonna change it to http://www.lazada.com.ph/thermaltake-smart-se-630w-87-efficiency-apfc-semi-modular-power-supply-3244378.html or http://www.lazada.com.ph/fsp-hyper-700w-85-efficiency-apfc-non-modular-power-supply-3127385.html after I earn enough
I currently have a intel pentium G630, 2GB and 4GB ram both at 1600mhz (4Gb ram is 1.8V the 2GB I dont know)
Thank you >.<

Ok. You already have a Lga1155 motherboard if you have a G630. Look up its model and it'll tell you what Lga1155 cpus it will support, probably any after a bios upgrade. Depending on if it's a B/H or Z board will tell you if you can OC or not. This does not mean you have too. If you get a good deal on a i5-3570k it'll still work just fine in a B/H board, no OC. For best playability you'll want a 4 core cpu, either i5, i7 or Xeon v2, preferably above 3.0 GHz.

This will save you money as a cpu alone is cheaper than buying a motherboard and cpu new.

I've looked at your lists of possible psus and they are bad. As in the psu choices are miserable, but the psus themselves are some of the worst units available. I found a psu that's very good, not that expensive and will power any nvidia in the 750ti or 900-1000 series but not the high end 700 series like a 780ti

You could also look for something like this.

thnx for your replies, but will my orion psu hold out with a GTX750 until I buy a new psu?

 

[Karadjgne]

Hopefully. There's not much demand from a 750ti, whole system should draw less than 300w.
