[SOLVED] Cpu Upgrade

[Ray Plays]

Hey!

I have a Dell Alienware Aurora R4 ms-7591 mobo, and I want to replace my cpu with a better one, if it possible, I'm using now a I7-960 3,4ghz quad core, I searched a lot for a cpu support list for that mobo but I didn't find anything, which cpu can fit on that?

Maybe later I will buy waterpump for my pc, but again I didn't know which one can fit in my case (Genesis Irid300), I have that 2 question, thanks if someone response!

Hey, If you are looking to upgrade your CPU I would first know how to install one, and where to find the proper drivers. But, since you are wondering what CPU's will fit an i7-960 uses a FCLGA1366 Socket. http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket 1366 (LGA1366).html

The socket used is not very common and is comparable to the 1155; extremely uncommon.
If you are looking to upgrade it will be very expensive for very little improvement from other socket capabilities.

My advice: Stick with what you have. It's not a bad CPU, and is probably going to benefit you the most, as the other available 1366 CPU's are in the thousands.
