Now i have msi h81m-e33 motherboard which i used with my i3-4130 but i wanna upgrade it to i5-2500 which is older generation, they both has 1150 socket, so it means I still can use old cpu to haswell motherboard?
 


The i3 4130 is a Haswell CPU (LGA 1150) while the i5 2500 is a Sandy Bridge (LGA 1155). Totally incompatible.

i3 4130

i5 2500
