Intel i3 4160 motherboard compatibility

blacka05 · Dec 16, 2014

As the i3 is a fairly recent processor I wanted to know weather or not the mobo's listed below will work 'out of the box' with it (not need a BIOS update)? And which one you think would be the best?

Thanks!

You can get a H97 motherboard instead to save costs. The i3 can't overclock anyways.
And all H97/Z97 motherboards supports the i3-4130 out of the box.

Do you know about the i3-4160?

What do you mean?

TheMentalist :

Would the i3 4160 work with any of the above motherboards 'out of the box' because I understand the Haswell refresh chips need an updated BIOS.

Z97/H97 motherboards are made for to support the Haswell Refresh processors. They don't require a BIOS update to work.
Only 8 series chipsets requires the update.
