5th Intel Serie?

[denn4550]

Hey everyone!

I have a MSI Z97 MPower and it should support the new 5th series intel CPUS. The problem is that the cpus are using some new socket called Socket-LGA2011-3 and my mobo is LGA1150.

2011 is a dead socket. The 5th generation cpu's should be using the 1150 socket motherboards, but will most likely need a bios update to support them.

Z97 is incompatible with Haswell-E, as you've highlighted with 2011-3 vs 1150.

Therefore, you'd have to purchase a new motherboard and DDR4 in order to be able to support those CPUs.

There are some rumors Broadwell should play with 9-series boards but nothing confirmed.

^ This. Likely next gen of 1150 boards will be DDR4 and i doubt that the memory controller built into the cpu will cross support DDR3 and 4.

So, what's the problem? LGA1150 doesn't work in 2011-3.

2011 is a dead socket. The 5th generation cpu's should be using the 1150 socket motherboards, but will most likely need a bios update to support them.

2011 isn't dead, the brand new Haswell-E CPU's use 2011-3.

When the 5th series broadwell comes out they may still use current sockets to run them. Only the new 5th gen haswell runs on new sockets. The broadwell i beleive will run on z97 (1150) sockets so would think when they come out you will be able to use them no problem. but its intel so itd be best to wait for them to be released if you plan on getting one.
