Core i5 for my Gigabyte H61M-DS2 (rev 5.0)!!

[labibhasan731]

So, I have a motherboard "Gigabyte H61M-DS2 (rev 5.0)". I want a core i5 for my PC. It supports "3rd Gen. Intel® 22nm CPUs and 2nd Gen. Intel® Core™ CPUs (LGA1155 socket)". I just don't understand!!! Will upper generations' i5s work on my motherboard? Or I need 2nd Gens?

Thanks in Advance!

This is a list of the I5 CPU's it supports.

But I would check what BIOS is on this now, because you may have to update the BIOS depending on what CPU you get first

Which I5 cpu is it?? If it's not on the Gigabyte mobo site then it's not supported

I don't know which i5 is supported. Is there any website to see the supported CPUs?

 

[Paul NZ]

See above. You go to the site for your mobo. It'll tell you what CPU's it supports

If you want a 1156 CPU, you'll have buy a 1156 mobo

"Intel® Core™ i5-3570"- Are you sure it's supported?

 

[Paul NZ]

Thats what the site says not me. But if you get it make sure the BIOS is updated to BIOS F6 first

I would look for the I5-3550, the difference ins pecs with the i5-3570 is minimal,(0.1Hz base/Boost) but price wise, 3570 is double the price. I just bought a i5-3550 for 53$ USD including shipping on eBay.
