CPU/Mobo Looks like LGA 1155 will get a LGA 1156 compatibility on this one :)

AsRockASRock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia the subsidiary company of ASUS has unveiled a motherboard which it seems has mated the LGA 1156 to the P67 chipset to give a whole new dimensionality to DIY hyeah:

yeah saw the review 3 days ago, IMO no1 would buy a P67 to put a LGA 1156 CPU into it that would be a total bummer.

Atleast you can still Over-clock without paying through your nose for a -k marked processor

^^But you can overclock a socket 1156 processor only, whats the point of that?

Well go to Intel pay a fortune and get a k-series processor OR

Buy the above mentioned board to continue using your perfectly fine and kicking LGA 1156 based processor OR

Buy AMD Black Edition and be happy :bleh:

^^Didnt get your point.

If you want to overclock a socket 1156 processor might as well buy a Socket 1156 board for cheap!

On the other hand if you are buying an expensive socket 1155 P67 motherboard, you can certainly afford a 200 dollar i5-2500k
