yes all ivy bridge pentium's and i series [ like core i3-3220] support them apart from the extreme i [ like core i7-3970X]series. infact they are backwards compatible with sandy bridge too because sandy bridge CPU's also have same socket. another side note is if you use K series cpu [ i.e : intel core i5-3570K ] you should chose a Z77 mobo. and if your using others then go with H77 or B75 mobo.
You completely over complicated that. Lol.
yeah i figured :|
Forgive my ignorance, but can you explain why you prefer a H77 or B75 mobo if you are getting a non-k series CPU. I was looking at the i7-3770k and a Z77 mobo, but then I thought I really don't need to overclock so I could save about $40 by just going with the plain 3770. I figured keeping the same mobo (Z77) would be fine but I read your post and so I am wondering if there is some advantage to using H77 or B75 mobo with the plain 3770 cpu?
Thanks in advance
