I'm building my 1st pc and I'm so excited! 
I just recently bought the i7-4960x LGA 2011 chipset thinking it would be compatible with my motherboard DX79SR because it stated on the link Intel® Desktop Board DX79SR
At product launch, this Intel® Desktop Board DX79SR supports:
- Intel® Core i7 Extreme Edition processor series in the LGA2011 socket
Because of that, I assume it is compatible to any chipset that is LGA 2011. But then I found this website, http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-034539.htm
in which I was heartbroken.
Is this processor compatible or not? Even the the representative from TigerDirect found that two different Intel links are contraindicating with one another
and unable to tell me for sure because his experience was that all LGA sockets are compatible with all LGA chipsets. I hate to attempt to try it because I don't want to run the chance of ruining my motherboard. I'm so saddened but would be grateful someone can tell me for sure especially someone from Intel. I spent over a grand for this latest chipset but I'm going to cry if this isn't compatible. Why Intel? I have always been behind your products.
Sincerely,
Sue Ann
