Will a i5 3470 ivy bridge processor work on a H61 motherboard??
I have updated the Bios to the latest version!

It SHOULD, what exact board is it? The model number will do.

You need to go to the manufacturer's website and see the supported CPU list for that specific mobo. If the i5-3470 is listed then you can use it. If it is not listed then the PC may not even boot up.

It depends on the motherboard.

 

[lsung1]

My motherboard = P8H61-MX

Yes it will work on that mobo.

How so?

How so?

Its the same as a 3570K, just without the unlocked core multiplier. It should work fine. 90% sure.

 

[lsung1]

Ill go for the 3570K to be sure. only a small difference

I'm using an I5 3470 on the USB3 revision of that motherboard and it works perfectly. I've overclocked to 4.2GHz using the clock multiplier etc.
