Ghozer   112 #2 Posted October 23, 2018 an i5-660 is a 1st Gen, Socket 1156 CPU...  2nd and 3rd Gen, share the same socket as each other (1155)  4th Gen are socket 1150  5th Gen mostly wasn't really available for desktop, is mostly laptops and other similar devices.. (there were some socket 1150 5th gen, but they are mostly in OEM builds)  6th/7th Gen Share the same socket as each other (1151)  so in short, no... You may however be able to upgrade to an i7-890 (which is I believe the highest spec 1156 CPU available)  the 9XX range are Socket 1366 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
