CPU Compatibility?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


     My motherboard is ASRock X99Extreme4. Your CPU support for this motherboard lists Intel i7 5820K as a supported CPU, but it also lists the socket as LGA 2011-3. My Intel i7 5820K says the correct socket is
LGA 2011-v3. Are the terms LGA 2011-3 and LGA 2011-v3 just different ways of designating the same socket? If they are the same, may I suggest that the term LGA 2011-v3 would be preferable if it is used consistently. If they are different, what is the difference? Thank you.
