CPU not fitting on MOBO?

[Gullanian]

It's all too late, made a proper muddle of all this so DDR4 is on it's way, returning the CPU and ordering a Haswell E, this one:

Before I buy, can someone just for my peace of mind tell me it's going to fit please!

Then I think we're good to go. I know I look like an idiot, just having one of those weeks.

Good.

That CPU will fit, the Retail CPU is £10 more and gives you a 3 vs 1 yr warranty.

Should have just asked me before buying anything.

 

[Gullanian]

So you were going for X99 (Haswell-E) originally? or X79 (Ivy-bridge-E)?

Started with the MOBO and then tried to find a good CPU that would fit it.

It'll all work out in the end At least you have the correct parts incoming now!

 

[Gullanian]

Thanks for all your help everyone, you lot are the main reason I keep coming back to OCUK!

Yes all OK and correct parts now incoming

 

[stulid]

By the way what RAM have you got coming?

And GFX card as you know that X99 doesn't have a built-in GFX solution dont you?

This RAM:

Graphics card reusing old Radeon 6800, not great I know but fine for intended use and will upgrade later if needed. PC is being used for programming so nice and fast with SSD + lots of memory is most important.

 

[stulid]

Thats fine.

 

[Gullanian]

Phew

 

[ShivP]

Never noticed how cheap that DDR4 had become, almost DDR3 prices now!

 

[stulid]

Phew

P.S your drives are all SATA?

 

[Gullanian]

Yep

 

[arknor]

Yes, said it should fit on the phone 15 mins ago.

best april fools joke ocuk ever told.

 

[BlackBat]

It was after mid-day, so I guess the jokes on them.

 

[arknor]

lol was it your first attempt at building a pc too man?

Next time post in general hardware asking for people to spec you components based on your needs and budget if you find it all confusing
