Can I use my ivy bridge 3750 with ASUS Maximus VI Formula, Socket-1150 ?

[Lanfear1]

Hey, my Sabertooth z77 broke, gonna replace, got an eye on ASUS Maximus VI Formula, Socket-1150

Can I use my Ivy bridge 3750 with ASUS Maximus VI Formula, Socket-1150 ?

Thanks in advance

No. You need a socket LGA 1155 motherboard.

Are you sure? For Ivy Bridge 3750?

Can hardly find any on my shop

There is no Intel i5 3750 or i7 3750.

The i5 3570 uses the LGA 1155 socket.

Ok, thank you

Can you help me find a high end motherboard with LGA 1155 socket please?

I have 2x 7970 graphics cards (or just 1, but Im gonna buy a 2. next year or perhaps for The witcher 3)

I want dubble 16x slots thing for the gpu, preferably with good space between each other so I dont have to watercool.

I dont think I will overclock

You don't need high-end for that. Basically any decent Z77 motherboard fulfills these criteria. Popular choices would be:

Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (or any higher version)
Asus P8Z77-V LK
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H
MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming

All of these can handle SLI/Crossfire with two cards. For two graphics cards they will run with 8x/8x PCIe 3.0, which is more than enough (8x PCIe 3.0 is equal to 16x PCIe 2.0). As far as i saw, they all have a 3-Slot spacing between the 16x PCIe slots, so most graphics cards will have at least a 1-slot wide breathing room.

If you want, you can spend more and get one of the higher end boards:

ASRock Z77 Fatal1ty Professional
ASRock Z77 OC Formula
Asus Maximus V Formula
Asus SABERTOOTH Z77
MSI Z77A-GD80

Just be aware, that these boards don't really offer anything of real value over the list above. They have a premium price tag because of looks and their "gaming-brand".

What shop are you using?

[Lanfear1]

What shop are you using?

Scandinavian one.

www.komplett.no

I use that because they replace my old card since its buggy.
I can use another site, but I really prefer having all components from 1 dealer for easy handeling.

Given that I don't speak a word of Norwegian, I found their selection of ten LGA 1155 motherboards relatively quickly

http://www.komplett.no/search?bn=101...2_Intel+Socket

Something like this: http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=743925 will do you just fine (MSI Z77-A GD55). They have 18 of them in stock.

Yep, i would also advise for the GD55.

So not this one http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=760429#reviews

Price is no issue, as they replace my zabertooth z77 with an equivalent for no cost.

If the supplier is paying for it, then get the most expensive board they have out of them
