Hello guys!
I want to replace my cpu with "i5 4590". I know is old, but I am not using this for gaming.
The problem is that I don't know if is compatible with my MoBo Asrock h81m-vg4. And I want to ask if that MoBo will give me any problems. My bios version is p1.30 I think. I will come later with a screenshot.
Another question. I have a stock cooler intel from i3 4160. It's ok of I use this cooler for i5 4590? Sorry my mistakes if I made any!
Have a good day!

This is a link to your motherboard's CPU Support List. As you can see, the i5-4590 is in this list, along with the BIOS version necessary to use it.

As for the cooler, try it and see what kind of temperatures you get. Make sure to remove any old thermal grease that may be on it.
