switching cpu from a intel core i3 4130 to a intel pentium g3258

[RossDela]

Can a hp Ipm87-mp motherboard support a pentium g3258?

If the motherboard is http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03885123 then the G3258 isn't on the list. It may work, but even if it does you most likely won't be able to overclock it. Are you willing to take the risk?

what will happen if it does not work will the motherboard be fried

Why are you changing the cpu? There a good chance that you can NOT overclock the g3258 on the HP motherboard,

No. It may not POST, but I'd presume that it will run at the lowest frequency if it's an unknown CPU (it's how most HP systems behave).

I built a computer with a pentium g3258 and a gtx 960 and it stutters to much when I play gta 5 and the hp is my old computer
that play light gaming on

Unless you overclock the G3258, that i3 is faster than that Pentium.

The i3 is better for games that can take advantage of hyperthreading.
