Is Gtx960 compatible with ASUS H61M-K mother board

[ROMESKO99]

Hello everyone I´m looking for some help here:
I recently bought Msi GTX960 2gb graphic card and its not compatible with my IPISB-CH2.
I´m using processor Intel core I5 2500 and the motherboard socket is 1155 so it should be ok.

My question is what do you guys think about this mother board.

I also need uATX mother board and this one is the one I found in a long time.
Does it go with my New GPU or should I find annother.

Thanks for ur responses

The 960 should be fine with your ASUS H61M-K. No worries

Thanks for your reply. I also want to ask if my processor is still compatible with the ASUS H61M-K.
Because this mother board use 1155 socket for processor but mine old motherboard used LGA 1155.

Is there any difference or it is same socket?

for the gpu all that matters is the pcie slot on the motherboard



the i5 2500T, and the i5 2500S are listed as compatible

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H61MK/HelpDesk_CPU/


that board is limited to 77w cpu's, so the 95w i5 2500 would not work

Yes the 2500 is an 1155 CPU and 1155 and LGA 1155 are the same thing.

I cant find any motherboard
With these specs:


uATX
1155 socket that supports 95 W cpu
Board that supports Msi GTX960 2gb

you dont need to specifically search for supports gtx 960, as long as it has a pcie slot it will work

micro atx = uatx


for example the ASUS H61M-A/USB3

compatible with the i5 2500

From recently purchasing a GTX 960 which is a 2 slot graphics card it will NOT fit my ASUS H61M-K motherboard. The graphics slot is too near the 4 x SATA and blue heatsink and will not complete its entry into the motherboard socket. In searching the internet the H61M-F board has been redesigned and the 4 x SATA sockets moved further from the GPU socket to allow a 2 slot GPU to be fitted.

I am now left with a 2 slot GPU and hoping my supplier will take it back and I have spent many hours trying to find a single slot to match my required performances.

So far the ONLY GPU that I have found is the NVIDIA GTX 750 TI RAZOR 2 GB DDR5 which is truly single slot.
