Hi guys I have searched multiple threads and cannot find my answer. ( dont worry this is not another will a 3rd gen cpu work in a 2nd gen board)
I have put a I5 3570k in my second gen board (thanks to bios already being updated). My question is altho my board says it only supports ddr 3 1333 and PCIE 2.0 would putting a 3rd gen cpu actualy change it to PCIE 3.0 and ddr3 1600mhz?
the reason I ask this I have ddr3 1600mhz and it was showing that speed after installing the cpu in the bios? - does the board just state these specs because its based on a 2gen cpu?
Btw my board is Asus p8h61 m/LE USB 3
Thanks
