Will it work?

[Zaeems_]

I know that both my CPUs are terrible, I haven't bought any parts for years, and back when I use to buy them - I didn't have much of a budget. :whiste:

I currently have a PC with an AMD E1-1500 CPU, and. I have a spare Intel Celeron e3300. The PC I have is good overall, since I mainly use it for gaming.

I want to know if I can swap the E1-1500 with the e3300.

Specs -
Case : Thermaltake Overseer rx-i snow Edition
CPU : AMD E1-1500
GPU : AMD Radeon HD 7750
RAM : 6GB
HDD : 1TB
SSD : 120GB x 2
DirectX : 11

No. No AMD and Inter CPU's are interchanagble. They have different sockets.

On a side note, what are you trying to do with the PC. Would be a decent budget gaming rig with a cheap mobo and CPU upgrade.

Edit. I see you already said it is mainly for gaming. My point stands.

Amen....

Hasn't been the case for 14 years ever since socket 7 was finally replaced.

And a damn shame it is too.

And a damn shame it is too.

Only if you hate progression.

There was progression prior unless I'm misremembering the upgrade paths I had back then. I'd trade some progress for compatibility at this point.

Seriously? I don't think there is that much, technically, that would prevent this. Almost all external CPU communication is handled by PCIe, and DDR3-layout should be almost the same, as its a standard interface. There might be a few issues with power-delivery, but nothing insurmountable with a little standardisation. LGA-1150 is after all almost identical to LGA-1155 which is again the same as LGA-1156.

I've been on the same socket for five years. That's a good run IMO.
