Ok i have got the Intel I7 2700k Socket 1155 LGA chip and have had it for some time its been a great chip but ive now maxed out what my mobo, an ASRock H61M-GS can handle. I bought it back in jan 2013 ive upgraded the memory and the gfx now and it cant take any more .
Now ive been checking the specs of my chip with other chips on a website called CPUBoss but the results are odd, it seems none of the current CPUs are significantly better than mine. Is the site misrepresenting things or am i just missing something?
Is there a way i could get more life out of my chip by finding a newer motherboard for it that supports DDR4 memory? or a faster Grfx card, currently an R9 380 with 4gb ram?
Many thanks for your help, hoping i can just get a newer mobo but my quick search looking for something with the same socket is proving difficult.
Cheers
Brian.
