1. The CPU on the x79h61 chipset is an LGA 2011 interface processor of the Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge series. This is because the x79h61 chipset is a motherboard that supports the LGA 2011 interface, which happens to be used by Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge series processors, so they are compatible. 3. It is worth extending that although the x79h61 chipset supports Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge series processors, it does not support the latest Intel 4th generation Haswell series processors, because the Haswell series uses the LGA 1150 interface.
Therefore, you need to pay attention to the compatibility of the motherboard and processor when choosing a CPU.
