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
Does Intel still use LGA 1151?

Intel officially declared end of life and discontinued Skylake LGA 1151 CPUs on March 4, 2019.
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.
Is LGA 1151 the same as Socket 1151?
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.
Is LGA 1151 the same as 1151 v2?
1151 is 6th and 7th gen and only work on the 100 and 200 series boards. 1151v2 is 8th and 9th gen and work on the 300 series boards.
Is LGA 1151 still good?
It is important to note that the Intel processor delivers outstanding gaming performance. The LGA 1151 processor can run the most popular and modern games at a reasonable framerate and 1080p. You will also need a good graphics card to be able to launch the system.
