Intel i5-3750k in a MSI 970a-g46 mobo?

Wesley Morse · Feb 19, 2014

As the title implies: will an i5-3750k be compatible in my MSI 970a-g46 motherboard?

PC part picker keeps saying that these two parts are incompatible so I'd just like to see if anyone has a different opinion.

Its an AMD board

You cannot run i5-3570k on AMD board, for 3570k you need something like Asus P8Z77 or MSI Z77 GD-65

Ahmadjon :

I don't wanna replace my mobo, whats a good alternative to the i5 I have selected?

Fx 8320-8350 but be careful many peoples fried their boards with that processors
Just read negative reviews here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130637

Try to find one of these on ebay or something.

if you will not buy a new mother board, I really can't recommend you get an 8 series chipset.

That motherboard will support the FX-8xxx series processors just fine with the newest bios update. Prior to that the motherboard had issues, but all is well now.
