will core-i5 3470 work with this? GA-H61MA-D3V
« on: February 11, 2013, 12:54:24 am »
I want to use the  GA-H61MA-D3V  board with a Ivy-Bridge Core-i5 3470 CPU

will it work?

processor support list says supported since BIOS F4 - in BIOS downloads there is only F4 and F5 - does this mean the board comes with either one of those installed? and thus should work if I buy one from eBuyer?

I dont have another 1155 processor to put in to upgrade it

personally I dont think they should sell them as 22nm support if you can only do so via an upgrade - it should say so in big bold letters on the item sale!

thanks

Hi there,

yes the i5-3470 CPU should work with this motherboard straight out of the box.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.
