Question about Haswell Refresh and sockets.

[frillybob101]

Hey guys I have a couple questions. First what us the difference between the Haswell Refresh and Devils Canyon. So the refresh is supposed to come out May 11 and Devils canyon june 2nd.

Do I have to have a motherboard with the z97 chipset or can I just use any old LGA 1150. Also what is different or improved with the new chipset.

Upgrading from fx 6300 to newest topend i5 when available.

Thanks

Does microcenter offer the 40 bucks off the cpu and mobo purchase on the new stuff?

I believe they do. So if you get one of the promo cpu's any compatible motherboard should be $40 off.
