i5 4690x and H81 chipset

[13timkri]

I found a really good deal for a 4960x but would like to know if it is supported by my Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2PH motherboard. I have a good 500 W PSU and a GTX 970. Keep in mind that I have been able to overclock my 4670k to 4.3 GHz on this mobo, even though it's not supported.

You mean 4690K right? If so this upgrade from the 4670K at 4.3GHz is negligible.

I meant a 4960x.

4960x is not compatible with your motherboard.

Alright thanks for the answer.

Consider a 4770k or 4790K if you want an upgrade. They are faster in some respects to the Ivy-Bridge-E 4960x.
