Ive got an LGA 2011 processor, whats the difference between that and an LGA 2011-v3. Will the LGA 2011-v3 processor fit in a LGA 2011 socket? They dont seem to make regular LGA 2011 processors anymore, only the v3.

I have no idea WHY they decided to re-use the socket numbers, when none of the 13xx or 11xx socket numbers were re-used chenw : They are completely different sockets.

They are not completely different sockets. In fact, they are mechanically identical save for the key notch. true, but it may as well be completely different sockets since the 2011 CPU still won't fit in a 2011v3 socket.
