LGA 1155 LGA 1155, also called Socket H2, is a zero insertion force flip-chip land grid array (LGA) CPU socket designed by Intel for their CPUs based on the Sandy Bridge (2nd Gen) and Ivy Bridge (3rd Gen) microarchitectures. It is the successor of LG ...

and was itself succeeded by LGA 1151 in 2015. Most motherboards with the LGA 1150 socket support varying video outputs (VGA, DVI or HDMI depending on the model) and Intel Clear Video Technology. Full support of Windows on LGA 1150 platform starts on Windows 7 - official Windows XP support is limited to selected CPUs, chipsets and only for embedded and

Haswell chipsets

First generation

Second generation

On May 12, 2014, Intel announced the release of two 9-series chipsets, H97 and Z97. Differences and new features of these two chipsets, compared to their H87 and Z87 counterparts, are the following: * Support for Haswell Refresh CPUs out of the box * Support for the fifth generation of Intel Core CPUs, built around the Broadwell microarchitecture * Support for SATA Express, M.2 and Thunderbolt, though only if implemented by the motherboard's manufacturer * Two of the six SATA ports can be converted to two PCIe lanes and used to provide M.2 or SATA Express connectivity. Intel refers to this variable configuration as ''Flex I/O'' or ''Flexible I/O''. Motherboards based on H97 and Z97 chipsets were available for purchase the same day chipsets were announced.
