Can this motherboard run a Intel 7 Quad Core Processors? The processor I am referring to is this: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-3820-Q...

For amd only, try this one http://www.amazon.com/Maximus-FORMULA-THUNDERFX-Extended-Motherboard/dp/B008GPYT7Q/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1379304176&sr=1-2-fkmr1&keywords=ASUS+Crosshair+V+Formula+i7 and stick with asus, auto overcloking rocks

Not off this board. That processor is an AM2 and this board is for an AM3+ designed processor. You would need to get an AM3+ processor. Plus with the AM3+ you can go 8 core

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

Why, yes it can. I am running the same mobo with the i7 4790k. No update necessary and it runs like a beast.

The speed of a CPU is relative. It holds no importance as far as can it work. So yes your computer can handle it as long as you are using a 64bit OS. You need to make sure that your motherboard can support it before making the decision to buy it. Check to see if the socket type on your mobo matches this CPU's socket type and you should be fine.

I put an I5 processor on the board I bought because it is LGA 1155. I7 processors are LGA 1366, 1156, 1155 and 2011. The Core I7-2600 is shown on Wikipedia to be LGA 1155 so it might work. My I5 processor also operates at 3.4GHz.

Yes it is a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz. However the operating system it comes with is Windows 8.1 and it's the worst piece of CRAP I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend wiping the operating system and using a more stable version like Windows XP or something. :\

After the 3820 the old general rule "if the socket fits the cpu it works" is out the window. The best place to check is at Intel's CPU compatibility check list of mainboards that work with a specific CPU and sometimes you can find a confirmation for a specific mainboard at the mainboards website for a list of compatible cpu's. Here is a link to Intel that will help, http://processormatch.intel.com/. A1 Mobile Computer, a1mc.net Dale Poston

If it is an FX series processor, then yes, the motherboard will support FX processors "760GM-P23 (FX)" Also the picture of the box shows what processors it supports, FX, Phenom, Athlon.

My guess would be no. :( The motherboard mfg. usually lists what cpu's will work on their boards and what bios version is required. Dell, not so good on that. I used to buy Dell's but they didn't upgrade their bios often and upgrading them was next to impossible. If Dell's bios doesn't support the faster cpu you are probably at a dead end with dell. :( I made the same jump in processors but it did require a bios upgrade from my MB mfg.

Assuming you are trying to ask if the i7-4790K is compatible with this board, then yes, as the 4790K is a S1150 chip. http://ark.intel.com/m/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz#@product/specifications

The answer is yes, check Intel's site for all the data you need.http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-i7-processor.html

I had that CPU before I tried this chip in it and ended up changing the motherboard all together. I found out that the system was not as fast as I liked. Anyway I looked up the specs on this site http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document

according to Asus website, it does support that cpu. Go to Asus.com and click on support. It shows you all the cpu's and the proper firmware version you need to make it work that particular CPU to work on the motherboard. Good luck.

Intel is no longer really supporting their motherboards as they are no longer producing Motherboards. I would buy a different board, if I were you. My board was faulty and all they could suggest was a refund of my money, they wouldn't replace it.
