Is Intel i5 4690k compatible with ASRock P55DE3 motherboard?

[jonnybrown342]

I want to buy a new CPU for my PC,and because my motherboard is only compatible with ddr3,I was thinking to buy a Intel i5 4690k CPU.The problem is that I'm not sure if the CPU is fully compatible with my current motherbord! Is it fully compatible? (I couldn't find any similar question online )

My specs:
Motherboard: AsRock P55DE3
CPU: Intel i3 530 2.93Ghz
GPU: MSI GTX 1050 OC
RAM: 8GB DDR3

No, your motherboard supports Socket 1156 CPUs: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/P55DE3/

The i5 is a Socket 1150 device: http://ark.intel.com/products/80811/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

They will not work together.

No the CPU is 1150 Socket and the Board supports 1156

Go here to see what CPUs are compatible with your older motherboard:

Honestly, you would be better off saving your money and upgrading your entire rig (CPU, memory, motherboard).

The i7-880 is the fastest CPU on the list of compatible CPUs.

You would still be better off saving your money until you can afford a more capable, modern system.

I think I'll save more money and change everything then,it's not worth to buy any of those CPUs...thank you for all the help,never thought someone would answer my question so quick
