So, bought a Raven RVZ01 mini-itx case to swap my wife's system into and get it out of the huge case that is a pain to move around. Swapped over the memory, video card, SSD. Put in the new Asus Impact board in, power supply and flat cable set, the slimline optical drive. Since for now I'm using the standard intel fan assembly I waited until the last part since I didn't need to worry about a backplate. All happy about how easily and nice looking I had the system.
So...I pulled the processor out of her asus motherboard and carefully sat it down on the socket...hmm says self, 'seems like it's not quite the right shape'.
Yeah an Intel 3770K won't fit into a Z87 1150 motherboard very well. I was just at MC yesterday picking up the new motherboard.
It never even crossed my mind the one in hers wasn't a z87 since system already is.
just wow. I'm over it and wanted to share and tell others of the biggest mistake I've made in quite a while.
