LGA 1151 revision 2 supports Coffee Lake CPUs and it's compatible with 8th and 9th generation CPUs that use the 300 series chipsets from Intel, including H310, B360, Z370, and Z390. Despite it being a revision of the original socket, it's physically the same and compatible with the first revision.Dec 3, 2021
Is 1151 and LGA 1151 the same?
LGA 1151 (100/200 series) is used for 7th and previous generations Intel CPUs. LGA 1151-2 (300 series) is used for 8th and 9th generation Intel CPUs. Even though 300 series motherboards have the same pin counts, they don't actually have the same pin layouts at all, so, they are incompatible.
Does LGA 1151 support processor?
LGA 1151, also known as Socket H4, is an Intel microprocessor compatible socket which comes in two distinct versions: the first revision which supports both Intel's Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs, and the second revision which supports Coffee Lake CPUs exclusively.
- LGA1151 was designed for the Pentium, Celeron, Core i3, i5, i7 and their Xeon variants from the 6th to 9th generation.
- LGA1151 boards with 100-series chipsets (eg Z170 )are limited to 6th and 7th gen chips but note that the latter will require a firmware update.
Are all LGA sockets compatible?
All of these chipsets have the same socket, but some features are disabled on the low-end chipsets. Note, though, that old LGA 1155 motherboards often won't work with new processors unless you upgrade the BIOS. You can usually find a compatibility list on the manufacturer's support site.
What is the difference between LGA 1151 and LGA 1151 2?
LGA 1151 (100/200 series) is used for 7th and previous generations Intel CPUs. LGA 1151-2 (300 series) is used for 8th and 9th generation Intel CPUs.
Will LGA 1151 be discontinued?
Intel officially declared end of life and discontinued Skylake LGA 1151 CPUs on March 4, 2019.
