If you could use both in the same socket, wouldn't they be called the same thing?
the '771' and the '775' refer to the number of pins each processor uses (i think). you do the math...
Yes that is correct. You can't use one processor in the other slot in either case. Even if you could physically fit the 771 chip in the 775 slot, the voltages and pin outs will not match. You will fry the chip.

not that it matters, but i doubt you would fry anything, it just wouldnt POST. you might bend the pins on the socket tho
Oh, it matters.
It will damage the chip. The interconnects are not the same for those two sockets, and as such, the voltages will differ on the pins that matter. I would also consider bending/breaking pins damage.

yeah but you said "fry" not damage
of course it would damage it. i just dont think it would fry anything.

Yes, an improper voltage to the wrong pin on a CPU, will fry it. ...smoke and everything if they are too far off.

A little different scenario, but same concept. A kid at my school plugged a 24v power cable into a KVM which needed 12v, instant fry, smoke and all.

lmao at this, i thought that you were being an arse calling him a douche for asking what you think is an obvious question....i then noticed that the person asking was called douche
What are you trying to build? You can technically get a Core 2 Quad Extreme for a 771 socket, but you will pay for it handsomely...well, you will pay handsomely for a Xeon too.

Yeah, the only board i've got with the 771 sockets is my TYAN server motherboard, which has dual 771 sockets, and support for up to 128GB of RAM !!!

:dA music server, and something that can broadcast internet radio, too. I almost fainted after seeing the price of that thing. How can a CPU cost $1,549??!!!
