My Motherboard compatible with new processor?

JayCanDougie · Dec 22, 2013

I have an "Acer Aspire M3800 MBU1909002 Motherboard". It's not the best I understand that, however soon I will be getting a new processor. The processor I'm getting is the "Intel Core i5 3570K Quad Core IvyBridge Processor" and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to find out if these are compatible, or if anyone knows themselves? Thanks in advance !

run the link it read your hardware give you your cpu info if it says 775 you have to replace the mb with a 1155 mb.

You need a nice 1155 board , here's a good one.

The Intel Core i5 doesn't fit in that motherboard.
