Intel Socket LGA 1151 is the choice of the socket, the longest since introduced processor series Intel 6th generation SkyLake series 2015 year ago. Up to now, LGA 1151 still valid on the CPU of the latest Coffee lake generation of the 8th and 9th. And sometimes, we like to confused on the selection of the chipset of the motherboard that is in accordance with the series, because there are 3 generations already present to this day.
For that, let’s simplify the way back in the delivery of team blue in the explanation of the series of Intel chipsets that can be used on the line Intel CPU socket LGA 1151, including the support of processors that can be presented by them. So, you can choose the series processor and a motherboard that fits in terms of compatibility, and certainly you would not be wrong to choose when planning to buy a CPU from Intel (including Mobo).
Explanation the Socket Intel LGA 1151
Socket Intel LGA 1151 (also known as Socket H4) comes in two different versions, namely the choice of the socket that is compatible with the microprocessor of Intel Skylake and Kaby Lake known as the first revision, and the second revision which supports only CPU Coffee Lake.
LGA 1151 is designed as a replacement for the LGA 1150 (known as Socket H3) and has 1151 the protruding pins to make contact with the pads on the processor. Most motherboards for socket first revision usually supports several types of memory, including DDR3 (L), Slot DDR3 to DDR4, but only one memory type can be installed. While the Motherboard socket is the second revision supports only DDR4 memory.
Skylake, Kaby Lake, and Coffee Lake does not support interface PCI conventional long; However, the vendor of the motherboard can apply it by using the chip externally. On the other hand, the advantage of users who have sockets LGA 1151, 1150, 1155, and 1156 are the affairs of the heatsink, where this feature can be interchangeable because they all have the same distance of 75 mm between each screw hole.
Support Intel Chipset On Socket LGA 1151
Up to now, there are there are already three generations in the affairs of the Intel, which support socket LGA 1151, but you need to know that some of them are not compatible with the old series or the latest. For more details, let’s explanation in more detail below.
- Intel Chipset 100 Series
Chip Intel 100 series has some of the categories that presented the vendor of the motherboard, series H110, B150, Q150 H170, Q170 and Z170. All of these options support the Intel 6th generation Skylake and 7th generation Kaby Lake (after the user update the latest bios). This series does not support the ranks of the Intel Coffee Lake 8th generation and 9th generation, including also does not have support for the Intel Optane Memory. - Intel Chipset 200 Series
The same thing also applies on-Chip Intel 200 series, where the series still has some of the same category, but the numbering presented the vendor of the motherboard is at the number 2 as the first, namely series B250, Q250, H270 and Z270. All of these options support the Intel 6th generation Skylake and 7th generation Kaby Lake, with some of the main advantages usually memory support is high. This series is also not in favor of the ranks of the Intel Coffee Lake 8th generation and 9th generation.
The best thing of this series is to support Intel optane Memory, although only applicable on the new Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7. - Intel Chipset 300 Series
Last, the latest generation of Intel’s 300 series, where the physical dimensions may remain unchanged, but the socket has been updated to restore some backup pin, adding strength to support the requirements of 6-core CPU. The socket also to remove the pin detector processor, break the compatibility with the processor and the motherboard before.
So, Intel 300 series is not compatible with the CPU Skylake and Kaby Lake, where the rows of this chipset only supports series Coffee Lake 8th generation and 9th. It should be noted also that in addition to the Chip Z390, users need to update the bios to the option that you can detect the processor of the Coffee Lake Refresh.
There are 6 options opto presented Intel 300 series, the series H310, B360, H370, Z370 and the last and could be the choice of most luxurious is the Z390 latest new released earlier this month. All options opto 300 series only supports DDR4 memory with a level of speed that is much higher also support Intel Optane Memory.
