Will LGA 1150 Socket Processor fit into LGA 1155 Socket Mobo??

[Chintan Dave]

I have Intel DH61ww Motherboard, and I am planning to buy a new Processor replacing my current i3 2100 3.1 Ghz.

Because I am a gaming geek.... I need more processing power to run all those CPU intensive games like Crysis 3 and others (I also have GTX660 GPU ).
I saw two processors,

■ Intel i7-4790 3.60 GHz Quad Core LGA1150 Socket Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz)

AND
■
Intel i5-4690K 3.5 GHz Unlocked Quad Core LGA1150 Socket Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz)

Now I need to know that will any of these processors fit into my LGA 1155 Socket Mobo?

No it will not, you will needa LGA 1150 Socket Mobo for a LGA 1150 Socket processor. If you need help choosing one please tell me.

You could also get an LGA1155 CPU, like the i5-3570. or i7-3770.

Yeah you could get an LGA 1155 CPU instead

A 3570 will do great, not to mention not as expensive. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115233&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Can you suggest me some i7's with mulit-threadung?? Because I need HyperThreading in the processor.

 

[Someone Somewhere]

3770, then.
