Hi all. I am looking at buying a Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H and an Intel Core i5-4570, but I've come across some conflicting information about compatibility.
Will I need to flash the BIOS of the board in order to get the CPU to work? The CPU is a Haswell Refresh. If yes, will I need an older CPU to work with? I'm upgrading from an AMD system, so I don't have one. The Gigabyte website says that they are compatible with the F12 BIOS, but I can't find any information about what the board comes with. Another website that checks compatibility didn't find any problems, but some people have said that it could be a problem.
If it won't work, any suggestions for a CPU/MOBO combo in about the same performance and price ranges?
Thanks for your input.
