1
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:10,200
so on the right hand side here you're going to see an LGA 1156 motherboard

2
00:00:06,359 --> 00:00:13,679
this is the old p7p 55 de premium so

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:16,240
this is a Linfield socket or it's a core

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:23,359
I3 Core i5 core i7 whatever you want to call it this is an LGA 1156 motherboard

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:26,519
with LGA 1156 mounting holes and an LGA

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:30,039
1156 keep out zone so the uh the the

7
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:31,599
keep out zone is what Intel specifies as

8
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:36,000
the minimum amount of space around the socket where there can't be anything

9
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:42,600
there all right on my left side I have a brand new LGA

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:46,280
1155 motherboard so this is with an 1155

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:49,079
socket it supports the new core I series

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:55,559
two chips so that is if you have a core i7

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:59,399
2600k that two means generation 2 so LGA

14
00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:03,199
1155 despite having fewer pins than 1156

15
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:05,080
is actually an upgraded platform okay

16
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:10,320
now normally when Intel upgrades their platform and they change the socket like

17
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:16,560
when we saw 1366 to 1156 they actually change the spacing of

18
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:21,079
the mounting holes however the good news is that if you are shopping for a new

19
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:24,680
1155 system you're buying a motherboard you're buying a CPU and you're trying to

20
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:30,520
figure out if you need to upgrade your cooler I have some really good news for

21
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:35,040
you this is an LGA 1156 cooler

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:38,360
and this is me putting it on an LGA 1155

23
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,439
motherboard just like that the ho

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:45,600
spacing oops look at that

25
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:48,000
random the whole spacing as you can see

26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:54,680
is exactly the same the stock cooler uses the same plastic push pins as LGA

27
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:57,280
1156 and we even have the same hold down

28
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,840
mechanism and the same back plate I'm going to flip the board over again and

29
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:05,920
the same black back plate that we found on lga8 1156 so you'll actually see if I

30
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:11,640
flip this over there you go these are using

31
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:17,760
exactly the same Hardware on the back of the board so there are no changes and

32
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,599
the tdps that is the thermal output of

33
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:25,200
the processors on both platforms are actually very similar so if you have one

34
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:31,480
that's rated for a high-end 1156 chip odds are 100% that it's going to work

35
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,120
just fine with a high-end 11 55 chips so

36
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,120
don't fear you do not have to upgrade your cooler that is my Linus Tech tip

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:43,840
for the day don't forget to subscribe for more unboxings and overclocking and

38
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,840
reviews and other good stuff
