[SOLVED] i7 3770 on intel DH61CR motherboard

[Ozzi9980]

I am using i5 2500 cpu on my Intel DH61CR mobo I want to upgrade to i7 3770 cpu. I want to ask if my mobo is compatible with i7 3770 I searched on google and i found out that my bios is comptible according to intel site but my AA# is not and what I understand is that I cant upgrade because the AA# has to be compatible as well can some tell me if I can use i7 3770 on it or not
My bios version BEH6110H.86A.0041
my AA# AAG1406-203

According to CPU-Upgrade, filtered by PCB... the Ivy Bridge generation is not supported with G14064-203 or later. If you can find a way to contact Intel, that would be the best. Btw, did you mis-type your AA# or is it really ...1406... rather than 14064? Because I can't locate anything relating to that rev. no.

According to the information you gave and the CPU-Upgrade site, it will work. Go to that page and scroll down to the i7-3770. You'll see your REV NO (AA#) listed there.

I guess the safest bet is to avoid the 3770 if you don't feel it is worth it to take a chance. Stay with the 2nd gen.

I think your best option is to pick up someone's used gaming rig. Staying with 2nd generation Core processors going forward is going to put a lot of limits on what you can run and still get decent frame rates.
