00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:10.200
so on the right hand side here you're going to see an LGA 1156 motherboard

00:00:06.359 --> 00:00:13.679
this is the old p7p 55 de premium so

00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:16.240
this is a Linfield socket or it's a core

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

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:26.519
with LGA 1156 mounting holes and an LGA

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:30.039
1156 keep out zone so the uh the the

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.599
keep out zone is what Intel specifies as

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:36.000
the minimum amount of space around the socket where there can't be anything

00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:42.600
there all right on my left side I have a brand new LGA

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:46.280
1155 motherboard so this is with an 1155

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:49.079
socket it supports the new core I series

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:55.559
two chips so that is if you have a core i7

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:59.399
2600k that two means generation 2 so LGA

00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:03.199
1155 despite having fewer pins than 1156

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:05.080
is actually an upgraded platform okay

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:10.320
now normally when Intel upgrades their platform and they change the socket like

00:01:07.759 --> 00:01:16.560
when we saw 1366 to 1156 they actually change the spacing of

00:01:13.759 --> 00:01:21.079
the mounting holes however the good news is that if you are shopping for a new

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

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:30.520
figure out if you need to upgrade your cooler I have some really good news for

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:35.040
you this is an LGA 1156 cooler

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:38.360
and this is me putting it on an LGA 1155

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:42.439
motherboard just like that the ho

00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:45.600
spacing oops look at that

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:48.000
random the whole spacing as you can see

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:54.680
is exactly the same the stock cooler uses the same plastic push pins as LGA

00:01:50.759 --> 00:01:57.280
1156 and we even have the same hold down

00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:00.840
mechanism and the same back plate I'm going to flip the board over again and

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

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:11.640
flip this over there you go these are using

00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:17.760
exactly the same Hardware on the back of the board so there are no changes and

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.599
the tdps that is the thermal output of

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:25.200
the processors on both platforms are actually very similar so if you have one

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

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:33.120
just fine with a high-end 11 55 chips so

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

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:43.840
for the day don't forget to subscribe for more unboxings and overclocking and

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.840
