On many threads i have seen that people have put a xeon lga 771 processor on a lga 775 socket but i want to know that can i use a q9650 lga775 processor on my hp xw8400 workstation which has dual lga771 sockets. I want to do 1080p gaming ..
Ram :6 gb
G card : gtx 960 4 gb

It's a similar issue as 771 cpu on 775 socket. you need an adapter to switch pins and a compatible bios. I don't know about that mobo so can't give a definitive answer, but it's probably no. You're also still going to bottleneck a 960 with any core 2 era cpu.
K1114 i am not going to be using 2 different processor s. Just tell me whether can i use a lga775 compatible processor on a lga771 socket..
I will use only one processor at a time. Ty
