are these compatable?

[moknathal]

hello i have a Intel core i7 930 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115225)

and i want to get the new Asus Rampage IV extreme (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131802)

can i use that board with that processor?

Nope.

930 - 1366 pins on cpu
Rampage IV only uses cpus with 2011 pins.

Sorry

You can use this one which by the way is still a beautiful board:

Or, he could exercise restraint and buy this:

There are lots of options that don't cost an arm and a leg, assuming you don't want to run triple cards.

moknathal: why are you jonesing to spend $550 on a motherboard? Are there any specific features you want that only that model has, or do you really believe you have to spend the price of an iPad 2 to get a good overclocking platform with lots of features?

Or, sell the 930 and buy a modest 2011 MoBo and SB-E. Just an option...
