Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2V + Pentium G4560

[ovidiudascalu.timisoara]

Hello! I want to get a Pentium G4560 and as a motherboard I found a Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2V. Will the CPU fit on that motherboard?

 

[DRagor]

It will fit, but in order to work on it, the motherboard needs to have a F20 BIOS version installed prior to installing G4560.

You need SkyLake CPU for that.

Do you know any motherboard that comes with the proper BIOS preinstalled?

thats the problem. if the motherboard comes with an old BIOS version the only way you will be able to update the BIOS is to install a CPU supported by the older BIOS to get the computer to boot to update the BIOS. if you are looking to get this CPU then look for a motherboard with an Intel 200 series chipset examples are H270 and B250

Is the MSI B250M PRO-VD ok?

yes, that motherboard has the right chip set to make that CPU work right out of the box with it

Most new motherboards can update the BIOS themselves. Some have a utility which will check on the internet and download it themselves and install it. Others require you to download it on another computer and put it on a flash drive (or, in the old days, floppy drive). The key is that there has to be a compatible cpu installed to do the BIOS update.
