i5 3470 + P8H61-M LX3 R2.0

[gsattt]

Hey everybody
I'm about to purchase an used i5 3470, but as I see in the ASUS page, this motherboard only supports 3470t (and some other models like 3570), so I am not sure if it will work well. Can you guys help me?
Thanks!

Yes it Will work if you have a non ivy bridge processor in the board right now update the bios before you change it out... It didnt natively support that processor but will with a bios update

Hi,
If BIOS updated, I guess that it will work: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1800680/3470-p8h61-csm-work.html

Hey, thanks for you reply. At the moment i'm using a Pentium G2030 Ivy Bridge, do I have to do something?

Id update the bios anyway, but you should be fine

The funny thing is, that the LX model is showing the 3470, but the LX3 does not. I'm currently using the default BIOS, 1004, do you think a update would be good in this case?

Yes
