These are the best LGA1155 CPUs in 2021, featuring all your familiar consumer-focused favourites like Intel Core i5 and i7, hyperthreaded quad core and octa core models for a total of 8 or 16 threads, K series for the best, easiest, fastest overclocking from base clock speeds of 3.4GHz and 3,9GHz (which is already pretty fast) up to a 4.3GHz boost clock, these 3rd Gen LGA 1155 CPUs will power your aging machine until you're ready to upgrade your whole system.

These are the best LGA 1155 CPUs in 2021, welcome to PCG.

Number 3

i7 3770K
If you’re determined not to fall behind in gaming or general computational contexts, the Intel i7-3770K is hands down your best option. Featuring four hyperthreaded cores with 8 threads in total, multitasking isn’t a problem. You’ll even be able to run pretty advanced video editing or 3D rendering software without any hiccups.

While you’re stuck with a maximum of four cores no matter which LGA 1155 CPU you settle on, the i7-3770K features the cream of the 2nd and 3rd gen core crop. Not only do they provide faster per-core performance than most other LGA 1155 CPUs, but they also feature hyperthreading, offering huge potential for multitasking. If you appreciate versatility in a PC, the i7-3770K won’t disappoint

Number 2

i7 3770
Our second LGA 1155 champion is the i7 3770, which is virtually the same chip as our top pick, but it can be snatched up for a song. We’re talking almost a third of the price of the K-series chip. That probably sends your spidey senses tingling, alerting you that something’s not quite right, and while it’s shrewd to be weary, honestly, it’s just a fantastic value-for-money chip.

That’s not to say there aren’t some minor differences. They’re just majorly disproportionate to the huge amount of money you save. All you’re missing out on when you drop that ‘K’ suffix is 1GHz of base clock speed, leaving you with 3.4GHz, yet parity remains intact in terms of boosted rate, maxing out at 3.9GHz. The only other difference between this and the K-series chip is that you don’t get quite as much thermal headroom for overclocking, but you can still push 4.3GHz without too many problems at all.

Number 1

i5 3570
Some gamers may be put off by the fact it’s a single-thread quad-core CPU, but therein lies this chip’s biggest strength. The single-thread cores excel during focused tasks, giving this chip a similar gaming performance as our top two cards. The price you pay is a reduced capacity for shouldering parallelizing workflows, but if all you’re after is a standalone gaming CPU, the i5-3570 is everything you’ll need to play most modern games.

Sharing the same 3.4GHz base clock speed as the i7 3770, it only drops a 1GHz from our top two pick’s 3.9GHz maximum boosted rates. These epic clock speeds are another reason why this chip doesn’t lag behind its more expensive CPU cousins. What this chip is lacking in is the ability to deal with threaded workloads, so if you often challenge your CPU with simultaneous applications and demanding programs, it’s probably not the chip for you.
