[nutcracker7814]

Hello,
this may be stupid but can i run two i7 3770k cpu on a single mobo..if so which mobo. should i use?

No. Only dual socket boards with LGA 2011.

Not 3770k's, I don't believe, but there are plenty of motherboards that'll let you run dual Xeon processors.

That being said, why do you want this? In 99% of all situations, it's a HORRIBLE waste of money.

You don't even need a 3770K. Why bother?

i LOLed at your signature... couldnt help it 😀 😀

btw dual socket is exclusively for xeon processor. not mainstream any i7 1155 or 2011

Hey! Pentium 4 isn't too shabby, I'm not saying downgrade to one xD But a 3770K is very unnecessary, I recommend 2500K/3570K to most people, but for those with old systems, I say use 'em ;3

heheeh..
my brother has a gaming rig with i7 3770k
which is a beast
so i thought if possible can i have dual i7 3770k
it would be a 12 core cpu....ripping the bones of the games and softwares like autocad

focus more on the GPU when it comes to gaming as stated above the 2500k is very good cpu which is good value and doesnt bottle neck your system

The vast majority of games only use 2 cores. So having 12 cores in total 10 of them will be idling the vast majority of the time. There are not that many games that can use more than 2 cores. How many? Dunno. Maybe 20 games? And I am being very optimistic.

Battlefield 3 is one of them, but only in multiplayer mode.

That's why Xeon works!

2 GTX 680's would be cheaper and outperform it.
