About CPU question

[JammerSlime]

Hello everyone, I just wondering my motherboard can fit in which kind of CPU.
Here's my motherboard:BIOSTAR Group B85MG(SOCKET 0)
My CPU is i3-4130
I have a 500W PSU
I appreciate.

LGA1150 cpu's

everything that uses LGA1150
that being: Haswell / 4th Gen Intel CPU and few Broadwell / 5th gen Inte CPU

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1150

Your motherboard supports LGA 1150 CPU's. You CPU(i3-4130) supports LGA 1150 socket. So your Motherboard supports your CPU.

Good Luck. Peace.

So my motherboard support 4th gen and 5th gen CPU?

Check the below link for the CPU's which supports LGA 1150 sockets:

Good Luck. Peace.

4th gen, most of it
5th gen, i only see 2 CPU listed in the wikipedia that uses LGA 1150

4th gen CPU they are all end of life so I must buy Core i5-5675C or i7?

 

[JammerSlime]

Will that i5-5675C worse then my i3-4130?

Will that i5-5675C worse then my i3-4130?

i suggest getting the i7 4770 instead

while it's at the end of life, haswell CPUs are still pretty decent for now and can still last few more years before needing a replacement
my friend had the i7 4770k (yes it's the unlocked version so he can OC it) and he use it with 1080ti just fine, this proves that haswell are still pretty decent even when u pair it with a new gen GPU (but it's a K version, so don't expect ur normal 4770 will perform like my friend's CPU)

I'm gtx1050ti

 

[constantine_99]

I'm gtx1050ti

Then I don't think that ur I3 will bottleneck it, unless the game is CPU intensive, try to see the CPU/GPU usage to see whether the system bottlenecks/not, getting a CPU upgrade won't yield significant improvement if ur system is already fine

Okay thx for your help

Any application to check my CPU and GPU usage while I'm playing games?

Msi afterburner (the OC software) comes with Rivaturner which can give u on-screen display about your hardware info (GPU usage, CPU usage, yada yada)

 

[JammerSlime]

It just only display fps! What I did wrong!

Rivatuner only shows FPS?
maybe u haven't set the other option for the On Screen Display
check it on MSI afterburner > option > monitoring
click the data u want to check, then tick the "show in On Screen Display"

Oh! I got it! Thx~
