How do I choose a processor for socket 1151?

If the processor has a suitable socket, you should pay attention to its other characteristics so that it is completely satisfied in operation.

In 2021, there are at least 5 such characteristics, and here is a list of them:

• Nuclear indicators . The more cores and threads, the better.
• Process . The principle of inverse proportionality applies here: the smaller the technical process, the better.
• Clock frequency . This is the frequency of the processor in normal load mode. The higher the number, the better.
• The frequency in Turbo Boost is the maximum frequency of the processor during overclocking. The higher the indicator, the better the crystal performs in multitasking mode or at maximum load (for example, when running heavy games).
• Heat dissipation . The «golden mean» is considered to be TDP 65 watts.

You should also take into account compatibility with motherboards, cache size, bit depth and the presence of an integrated graphics core.

Socket manipulation is not our choice

On the Internet, you can find a lot of information about how more affordable eighth-generation processors are installed on LGA1151 motherboards by doing certain manipulations. Stickers are sold on the contacts of the processor, they tell which contact needs to be painted over with varnish so that everything works.

Glue carefully, do everything at your own peril and risk. But, firstly, budget gaming assemblies of that time were assembled on the simplest motherboards with the h210 chipset. Secondly, many do not want to risk so much by sealing the connectors and doing other experiments. All this can easily disable the PC.

Socket 1150 and its positioning

In 2013, when choosing a new PC, the question was: “Socket 1150 or 1155?”. There was virtually no difference in performance between these processor sockets. In terms of price, 1155 was preferable, but energy saving is an order of magnitude better for 1150. Now the latter is being replaced by a more progressive family of processors — the sixth, which is already installed in socket 1151. Otherwise, it should be noted that socket 1150 allows you to create the most affordable computer systems. But the segment of the most productive PCs and servers is mostly occupied by socket 2011.

The socket version has little effect on performance without adding special features to the PC. The main difference lies in the installed processor. Powerful modern versions of the eighth, ninth and, in the future, tenth generations are head and shoulders above the already obsolete Skylake and Kaby Lake.

But, despite the obvious superiority of the latest models, the 6th and 7th generation processors, designed for entry-level and mid-level PCs, adequately cope with the entire range of tasks that users of ordinary home computers face. And motherboards with socket LGA 1151 v1 remain popular because there is a demand for inexpensive processors. After all, there is no need to buy powerful modern equipment and overpay for performance that will remain unclaimed.
