Gigabyte h61m-d2s 3rd gen compatibility?

[kurochan_24]

Hey guys, I'm looking for upgrade paths for my lga1155 board from i3 2100. I was looking at i7 2600. Lately, I stumbled upon an info that with correct bios, my board can support even i7 3770.

So can anyone confirm this for me before I buy something. Here's the info

Gigabyte H61M-DS2 ver 5.0
Bios version F6

Upon checking Gigabyte website, they have this link:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-DS2-rev-50#support-cpu

Given that my board already sports F6 bios, does that confirm I can upgrade up to 3rd gen Intel chips?

Yes you could update to the 2600 or 3770.
