Motherboard Compatability issues

[joshsadler98]

Hi guys I've recently got a Intel Core i7 3770s 3.1GHZ Quad Core CPU Processor LGA1155 I was wondering if you'd be able to tell me if this motherboard would support this processor https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-DQ67OW-LGA1155-DDR3-Micro-ATX-Motherboard-with-BP/162989329059?epid=113375558&hash=item25f2ebcaa3:g:B5wAAOSwNchaF~qv

No, you will need a 2xxx CPU to run on that board.

Do you know which board I could possibly get that would be cheap?

Full atx but a decent board for £40, usb 3 , uefi bios, supports the 3770 on first revision bios.

Also sold by scan rather than a private seller.

Not a bad buy unless you absolutely need a natx board ?

I'm just trying to find the cheapest one I get get at the moment. I was just wondering if theres anything specific in a motherboard that I need to make sure has to support the CPU. Because the socket the CPU uses is 1155 and I thought the motherboard I shared supports that socket?

You need a board with a compatible chipset. So look for boards that are: H61, Z77, B75, Z68,, H67. The board you selected supports the previous generation CPUs.

Here is a link to pcpartpicker. It shows a list of boards compatible with the 3770. You dont want to buy anything from here as you are looking for a used product. But this will give you a good place to start.
