I already have my system picked out and I know it's all compatible, but I would like to know so I can help others on this forum and so I don't provide incorrect information. Thank you in advance!

Aug 8, 2014 1,059 0 11,960 Socket 1155 is used by older (well not really old but you get the point i guess) processors, such as the i5-3xxx series. Socket 1150 is used by newer intel processors, and intel will still continue releasing CPU's for it. Upvote 0 Downvote

No, not even a little bit. Sockets must match exactly. Upvote 0 Downvote

LGA 1155 has 1155 protruding pins to make contact with the pads on the processor. So because of the 5 pin differences, you cannot use 1150 processors on a 1155 motherboards and vice versa. Cheers!
