Have an MSI H87G43, been running it with a. i3 4130 ok, recently upgraded to SSD and now a buddy of mine sold me a nice GTX970. Like a noob, I went and bought a used i7 4790 in order to have better performance overall (Arma 3 works great at ultra high, however takes quite a bit to load).
Now onto the questions:
- Can I run such a processor on that board? I am not looking to overlclock. (Updated bios to v2.10, with i7 fans come on, and every few seconds fan speeds seem to increase a bit and then back to normal, but won't POST). Tried resetting the board using the JBAT1 pins, and if I put the i3, it works right away and shows the reset (IDs cpu).
- while testing, I am swapping cpu's without heatsink. Not running them more than a minute or so, to keep Temps from boiling. This safe for the cpu's?
Any clues so greatly appreciated!
(And no,no money to buy new gear and better stuff). Thanks everyone
