can this work with i7-960 Quad Core Processor?

No friend because this motherboard is socket 775 and only supports the intel core 2 quad processor 775. The core i series socket 1155 is therefore only work in new motherboards Intel 1155.

No it cannot ,its a 1366 socket , asrock is a 775 socket T ...i've managed to put a 771 xeon 3.0ghz in with a mod adapter,its a really fast motherboard ,you can save alot of money going this route if you have the ability.If not just go with core quad ..its great for gaming ,or just dont use this motherboard,hope that helps.

No because that has a socket LGA 775 which is different than what you need for an i7 which is a Socket LGA1366

Not it will not work with the i7-960 Quad core Processor, this motherboard is socket 775 and this processor is for socket 1366, that's mean they are not compatible

it cannot... This is not a good motherboard....... mine was dead on arrival... I never got it replaced.... save you money... buy something else somewhere else. Hope this helps.

Yes, since the CPU is a FM2 chip, it will work, but remember that you can only install cpu's with quad cores or less

Yes, but it will be very slow. I would look for a computer with a I7 Quad 1.73 or faster.

Of course. As long as your motherboard has a pci-express 16x. Any motherboard that supports a i7 will work.

Thanks a lot for your response Askal, I have a core i7 2.98 Ghz with 4 GB RAM I will get the unit.

Yes, that's more than enough. What type of processor and motherboard do you have?

Yes it will work. I'm running an i7 intel and it works just great.Hope this helped.

I have a Processor 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo as well and this is what I used so yes this will definitely work.

You would have to research info on your motherboard. If your P4 is socket 775 then maybe. Best thing to do is go to the manufacturers website for your motherboard, find the specific model and check for processors that are supported.

Yes. I installed it with a eight core AMD processor and it works great. Remember that the motherboard and memory must be compatible for type and speed.

It depends on the chip set. You can look up compatibility at the Intel site and maybe on the ACER site.

I put my quad core microprocessor into a Pavilion G7 AMDA6 Vision motherboard to make it an A-10 video core and it works fine. If you are not sure, go to www.hp.com and they will give you advise if it fits yours as an upgrade as they did for me. I received a response the same afternoon or evening. SAN

Most, if not all, video cards (aka GPUs) should be compatible with this processor. I'd recommend either a GeForce GTX 960 or GeForce GTX 970, depending on price

As others have said, that processor will run the with this card just fine, but it may be a bit of a bottle neck. The more important question is however, what motherboard do you have? Does it have the required PCI-Express 2.0 x16 expansion slot to accept this card?

Make sure the Motherboard supports Pcie 2.0 or 3.0 and that the cpu supports pcie 2.0. In my opinion it should work. But just verify what I mentioned above

Absolutely. I run 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. You can also run 32 bit if you wanted to. The manufacturer's lists all the specs here http://ark.intel.com/m/products/27251/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E6700-4M-Cache-2_66-ghz-1066-mhz-fsb

I would suggest going to the manufacturer's site and checking for supported CPUs for that particular board. Contacting the manufacturer may also be a good idea since you have updated the BIOS.
