at the moment i have a CPU Intel Core i5 - 2500 on a ASUS Sockett 1155 Motherboard, and i am currently in the mood in upgrading it to i7 but im not to sure if it could be compatible or not to upgrade. I want to upgrade from a i5 2500 to a Intel Core i7 2600 LGA1155 CPU would this be fine and no issues?
Why? [editline]1st January 2012[/editline] I mean yeah, they're the same socket type and run on the same chipsets and whatnot, but why would you want to upgrade a chip with uh.. virtually the same chip?
get a K version, then you can OC. But why?
Yeah for like 90% of things you won't see a benefit to upgrading to an i7.
i7 2600/k is pretty much the developer/cool kids club of people who'd buy/need i5 2500s.
