i5 7400 is out in the market and is same as pricing when compared to i5 6500. I'm planning to buy the i5 7400 but Im on budget here. Since both the CPUs has same socket (lga1151) . can I use the MSI H110m pro VH plus. I know its compatible with 6500. But will it support 7400? Or should I stick with 6500.
 
Solution
You can only use an H110 board if it has an updated BIOS. Any board with a 2xx chipset will ship with a BIOS that works from the factory.

If you have a local PC shop, they may be able to update the BIOS for you.
