[Bruv-kimane-un]

Uhhh Hello Hello

So i have this neat LGA 1155 Mobo, An Biostar IH61MF. And i want to upgarde its CPU
My CPU currently is Intel i5 3470.
I want to ask, whats the recommended CPU for the upgrade ?

 

[COLGeek]

The i7-3770K is the strongest CPU that will run in this system.

[Karadjgne]

I7 3770k or Xeon e3-1290v2 (good luck finding one), more common are the Xeon 1270v2 which is intrinsically the same as the i7-3770K.

 

[InvalidError]

Upgrading to an i7 or Xeon 1XXXv2 equivalent will only get you ~30% more performance and only in stuff that is sufficiently heavily threaded to make use of HT. Not really worth it unless you can get the CPU for really cheap.
