would this work with a i7?
1888655
I'm using it with a Core i7 4790 (not the overclockable "K" version) and it's been wonderful. Running heavy-duty stress tests like Prime95 or AIDA64 on all eight cores took my Max Core temp up to about 82 degrees C, but even then processor throttling doesn't occur. Besides, unless you're running professional analysis and simulation software for many hours or days straight, it's highly unlikely that you'll ever be stressing out your processor enough to cause any temperature issues.

From my understanding it would depend upon the TDP/maximum temperature generated by the cpu. A 4790K - no, but a 4770s or 4789t - I believe so. Best to check the manufacturer's website.

You should be looking at the MB socket number, not the CPU model; but yes, it will.

Yes, it will. But I would suggest a larger heat sink. I have this on a I core 5 processor and it does better than the stock one. But an I core 7 will need something better to get any real gains in cooling. I would try a Liquid cooler.Keeping a processor cool is going to prolong life and great margin of over heating prevention of the chip.Hope this helps

We are glad that you are interested with this item. Upon checking, this model can support Core i7 Processors. Thank you for contacting us.

Updated: These are not compatible as the cpu has different pins than the mb socket. Yes, it is listed as being compatible with the Core i7 / i5 / i3 processors.

No thats an Intel board and doesn't support it, this processor your looking at will only work with the newer boards 990 series and its an am3+ type motherboard. Youd have to build a new machine to be using this processor.

It depends on if you want all the other features the board offers and it depends on which i5. Most people who get this board overclock so they usually go with an i7.

Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.

Yes most definitely. The motherboard cut-out is not very big (doesn't even open enough to fit my 1155 i7) so I had to install my H100i onto the CPU before mounting the MB to the tray.

as long as the motherboard can take LGA 1155 Processor it will work if not it's the wrong proccessor/motherboard combo (note motherboard that can take LGA 1155 Processor from this cheap to icore 7 procceessor)

I would think so. It mostly depends on your motherboard being compatible with both the processor and video card.

yo, i used it on a core i7 laptop and it works great. cpu temps dropped a great deal, it does what is says.

It works great with my i5-4570, so I don't think it will be bottlenecked by that processor.

Yes, since the CPU is a FM2 chip, it will work, but remember that you can only install cpu's with quad cores or less

I would need to know the spects of the cpu to answer. If it is a Sata interface it should work.

Yes, it's compatible with any Core i3/5/7 LGA 1155 processor. The graphics are not on the mobo, they are on the chip, so performance depends on which processor you get (Core i3 has the HD2000 integrated GPU, while the i5/7 have HD3000).

You have to look at the system board and it's specifications. You will have to see if it is comparable with this CPU's specifications. Cheers

Thanks a lot for your response Askal, I have a core i7 2.98 Ghz with 4 GB RAM I will get the unit.

Well. It all depends on whether you will overclock thr CPU or not.....IMO it will work as is however it may not be efficient for I7.
