Compatible motherboard ?

Will i5 3340 be compatible with Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 motherboard ?

It's 1155 socket, but i found that this motherboard support i5 3340S(which is almost the same processor)
Please help me, thanks.

Yes, it should work. Make sure you're updating the BIOS prior installing the CPU.

Thanks man, but i must have processor 2th gen to update BIOS, is it true ?

alexoiu · Jul 24, 2017

Yes... but would you buy the board and CPU as used parts?

Falcone · Jul 24, 2017

Yes, why ?

alexoiu · Jul 24, 2017

If board or CPU not working, you'd not be able to determine which one is the culprit. Add to this the BIOS update issue, I don't know...

Aha, i understand, I have one more option; to buy Intel Core i3-3240 Ivy Bridge (2012) or i5 2400 (2011).
Is it risky buying older processors, in this case, I5 2400 ?

What is the budget for board and CPU?

Falcone · Jul 24, 2017

50-70 $ for used CPU, and 40-45$ for new od used motherboard
