Okay so I'm getting a new CPU, probably http://www.itestate.com.au/pages/pro...on&pcode=08492.
Now I need to know if my motherboard is compatible with this CPU, so first off, how do I determine what motherboard I have, and secondly, can you guys tell me whether or not it is once I post my motherboard? :S

We can tell just by having you posting your current CPU what type of socket your motherboard has.

Post the motherboard, it's fairly easy to tell. Just have to match the cpu socket types up.
Edit: The i7 2600 you posted is a LGA 1155 socket. As long the motherboard you have has that same socket type then it would work with it.

CPU-Z will tell what motherboard you have currently http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html Originally Posted by Snugglees
