Is there a difference between LGA 1151 and 1151?

In other words, the difference between an “1151 motherboard” (not an “1151 CPU”) and an “1151 (300 series) motherboard” is the type of CPU that can be used. The “300 series” can use 8th and 9th generation Intel CPUs. The earlier version can use 6th and 7th generation Intel CPUs.

What socket is 9th Gen Intel?

LGA1151 socket
9th and 8th Generation Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors use an LGA1151 socket. However, they require motherboards based on Intel® 300 Series Chipset.

How do I know what socket My laptop has?

The socket type is printed on the computer’s motherboard. Knowing the CPU socket type for a computer motherboard is essential for anyone planning to upgrade the device’s central processor. CPU socket compatibility is typically listed with the computer product name and specifications in the owner’s manual.

What socket is Intel 8th gen?

9th and 8th Generation Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors use an LGA1151 socket.

How do you tell what LGA I have?

Identify your Motherboard Socket

1. Step 1: Download CPU-Z. Download CPU-Z from the official CPU-Z website.
2. Step 2: Start CPU-Z. Simply start CPU-Z after your download is complete.
3. Step 3: CPU tab. The package line will show your socket: This example is using Socket 1155 LGA.

What socket type do I have?

Identify your Intel® Processor. Visit the Product Specification Page (ARK), and enter the processor’s number in the search box located in the upper-right corner. In the product page and under Package Specifications, look for Sockets Supported, which lists the socket supported for the processor.

Does LGA 1151 support 8th generation?

9th and 8th Generation Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors use an LGA1151 socket.

What is the LGA 1151 socket on a motherboard?

Most motherboards with the LGA 1151 socket support varying video outputs ( DVI, HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2 – depending on the model). VGA output is optional since Intel dropped support for this video interface starting with Skylake.

What is Socket 1151 rev 2?

Socket 1151 rev 2 is sometimes also referred to as “1151-2”. Like with Kaby Lake chipsets, four additional PCH PCI-E lanes in Coffee Lake chipsets are reserved for implementing an M.2 slot to support Intel Optane Memory.

Is Coffee Lake compatible with Socket 1151 rev 2?

As a result, desktop Coffee Lake CPUs are officially not compatible with the 100 (original Skylake) and 200 (Kaby Lake) series chipsets. Similarly, 300 series chipsets officially only support Coffee Lake and are not compatible with Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs. Socket 1151 rev 2 is sometimes also referred to as “1151-2”.

Does LGA 1151 support DDR3L?

LGA 1151 revision 1. DDR3 memory support. Intel officially states that Skylake’s and Kaby Lake’s integrated memory controllers (IMC) support DDR3L memory modules only rated at 1.35 V and DDR4 at 1.2 V, which led to the speculation that higher voltages of DDR3 modules could damage or destroy the IMC and processor.
