Motherboard Compatibility with 3rd Gen Intel CPU

[cool7141]

Hey Everyone!

Now this maybe sounds like a stupid question but bear with me. I want to purchase a new intel processor (Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K) but how do i know the which motherboard will be compatible with the new generation of intel processors?

You have to read the MB specs/info.

ahhhh thats makes more sense. Thanks you!

 

[THE UNKNOWN]

LGA 1155 is the SOCKET for SANDY + IVY BRIDGE PROCESSORS
When you gonna CHECK MOBO SPECIFICATION CHECK CPU SUPPORT LIST its for compatibility of PROCESSOR+ MOBO.

But H67 P67 Z68 CHIPSET are compatable with IVY BRIDGE [ NEW GEN PROCESSORS ] but needed to be FLASH/UPGRADE BIOS to use it.

H77 Z75 Z77 CHIPSET native support no need to FLASH BIOS
