Yes it will fit, your mobo supports up to an i7 3770k.

sure it will work. just don't spend on a "k" version of that chip. your motherboard doesn't support overclocking and thats really the only reason to get an i7- 3770k

yes your mobo supporsts 22nm cpu and 3770 but since 0304 bios version. you need an update and you are good to go http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61M_LX_R20/#support

Save yourself a some money and by a Xeon 1230 v2, unless you need the IGP. Otherwise, get a 1245 v2. It is basically the same chip as a 3770. Just update your bios first.

You can download the instruction manual and any necessary utilities from Asus for bios updating.

chris987 · Mar 25, 2014

from the link i've previously posted you can download the bios version need. basically you need a usb flash, formated in fat32 with the bios in it. for further instactions though refer to manual as also previously suggested also you can update through asus AI suite II and ez flash 2 utility!

Unless you are getting a good deal on a used 3770, do not buy one. Get a 1230v2 or a 1245v2 if you need the integrated graphics. They are i7's with a Xeon label.

The 1230v2 lacks IGP. A 1230v2 is like $67 cheaper than a new 3770. The 1245 v2 is $27 cheaper.

If you have a dedicated GPU, the 1230 v2 is the best deal for the money for your board.
