Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a new CPU that I can use with my current motherboard without needing to do a full upgrade. Ideally, I want something that works well with Windows 11, but I might be flexible on that part. Currently, I'm using an Intel Xeon E5-1630 v3 paired with an Stg aubron X99AR4GM motherboard. Any suggestions for an upgrade that can boost my gaming performance? Thanks in advance!

Honestly, if you're sticking to that motherboard, your options for Windows 11 compatibility are pretty slim without doing some workarounds. Your best bet might just be to consider a full upgrade with a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM. Otherwise, you'd be limited to really old tech.
If you're already on DDR4, you could maybe go for a different Xeon model, but check compatibility first!
What if I just want a CPU upgrade without Windows 11? Any recommendations for better gaming performance?
