Hi! I have an Intel Core i7 3820. Is this motherboard appropriate and sufficient for it? Thanks!

Yes, I have combined the very same two items and they are compatible. You'll need to get a video card though. The other components I used with the same Motherboard are NVIDIA Quadro 2000; Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler; Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt; WD VelociRaptor 250 GB Workstation Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 10000 RPM, SATA III, 64 MB Cache and Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz.Verry happy with the result. I use my computer for heavy drawings

Yes! I'm rocking an OC i7 3820 on this board and it absolutely screams. Couldn't be happier with the board + cpu choice, especially for the money. I built my machine before the 4th generation i7's came out though, so I can't comment on whether it's worth it to get a 4 series or not.

I built a system about a year ago using the P9X79 paired with the I7 3820 and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz memory and it's been a great combination. I use my system for programming and data processing and it's been very fast and reliable. I don't think I've ever had a single freeze up and I leave it up and running all the time.

Yes it is. This motherboard has an LGA 2011 socket that will fit LGA 2011 processors like the Intel i7 3820.

Yes, you will have no problem using this cpu with this board. Just be sure you have a good cooling solution.

Check the Gigabyte web site. The board version and BIOS version together will determine if you can use this board for the processor you are using. The Gigabyte web site will provide the last word on it. My BIOS is F3 and works for everything I do. I have not updated it since I set up my system. Did not need to. Hope this helps.

....Ram goes in the motherboard. Depends on what m.b. you get for the 3820. You can actually have up to 64gb of ram on most boards built for the 3820 ( socket 2011).

It's compatible with the board, but the i7, i5, & i3 processors for that socket only support up to 1600 mhz, so unless you're intending to overclock your ram by 1000 mhz, you might want to bump it down a bit.

Yuuup. It will suport it just fine. That the same processor im using in that board.

I believe so IF you have the proper BIOS version. According to the Gigabyte website the cpu is only supported with Bios Version "F4" or later. The cpu must also be revision S1 or later (some may call this the stepping code). It is not clear to me how you might upgrade if the I7-4820 is the only CPU you have. Please note: I have had very limited success with Engineering Samples (ES) CPUs with my Gigabyte motherboards (GA-X79-UP4, GA-X79S-UP5). My advice is stay with the retail releases.

it is compatible with that CPU ... is a very decent cpu for gaming you will have no problem running any game in high settings.

according to pcpartpicker dot com it is. This motherboard is built for overclocking so you would be happier with an ulocked chip but if you have an i7-3770 it would work per pcpartpicker dot com. I use this mobo with an i5-4670k and I am happy with it.

The motherboard will support an i7-3770k, but if you're going to get/already have an i7 CPU, I highly recommend that you buy a different motherboard. In my honest opinion, the P8Z77-V LX is only for low-end CPUs (pentium, dual core, up to i3). If you get a P8Z77-V LX, you might be bottlenecking your CPU, and it might not run to the full potential that it should be.If you have an i7, and you don't mind using a bit of money, I'd get the Maximus Z77. Look it up, it supports the i7-3770k beautifully, and it gives the CPU enough wiggle room. I personally have an i5-3570k and I'm using a Maximus Z77, and it's running great.

It has an LGA 775 CPU slot and it is compatible with most Core 2 CPU's. I recommend you go on ASRock's website and look up the specific CPU's that this board is compatible with (I made the mistake of not looking first and had to return the first CPU I bought and get another).

No, the newest motherboard compatible with this processor is the Z77 chipset. They use socket 1155, not the 1150.

It doesnt matter, the bios can be flashed with just a usb flash drive and power connected to the board... so as long as u can download the files with another computer and save them on a usb drive and u can get power to the board you will be ok.. you dont have to have a processor or ram on the board either, just need power and a usb drive with what ever bios u need on it... this is a kick ass board, get a i7-4930 and u got a bad ass board.. even with the 3820 it is unstoppable..

According to the Technical Product Specification by Intel, this is an ATX Motherboard. You may go to the manufacturer's website to see if your case support this motherboard size.

The motherboard does NOT come with a CPU. If you go to the Gigabyte Website for this model, there is a link to a list of Intel CPU's that are supported. For me I used the I7-3550 3GHz Quad Core. Hope this helps.
