Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2-B3 cpu support

[naharid]

Hi, I have this socket 1155 board: Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2-B3, I have found a cheap intel g645 socket 1155 cpu on ebay, but it is not listed on the supported cpu's for this board on gigabyte site.
My local tech told me he is preaty shure the cpu will run fine on this motherboard, any support on this?
I can also buy Intel G2030 cpu, will it run on this board?
Thanks, Doron

G645 is Sandy Bridge, G2030 is Ivy Bridge both supported on that mobo for like 99,99%
Pick the 2nd one if its the same price since its a bit faster... but honestly 2x core cpu is rather a short term buy.

Answering to your PM, so the others can see:

1) Support for ...Intel® Pentium® processors/Intel® Celeron® processors in the LGA1155 package
thats from here:

2) Compatibility page:

Thanks for your patience.
1) on Gigabyte site, the two cpus in question are not listed as supported by the motherboard.
2) On the comparability page above, my motherboard Ga H61M-S2-B3 , is not listed as support the G2030.
what made you say "both supported on that mobo for like 99,99%"?

I tested the Intel Pentium G2030 on this mobo, and it works fine.
Thanks Ra_V_en , for you suggestions.
