Solution alexoiu Jul 24, 2017 Yes, it should work. Make sure you're updating the BIOS prior installing the CPU.

F Falcone Honorable Jul 24, 2017 26 0 10,530 Jul 24, 2017 #7 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 ? Upvote 0 Downvote
