Will I be able to upgrade my cpu without getting a new motherboard?

37Penguins · Dec 3, 2017

I have an intel core i3 (numbers at the bottom of the box are i3-6200 and LGA1151, I don't know if they're relevant) My motherboard is a Gigabyte H110M-A. Will I be able to upgrade my cpu to an i5 without getting a different motherboard? Thanks.

Yes, you can install a 6th gen Intel CPU, or update the board's BIOS and install a 7th gen CPU. Like i5 7600.

How would i be able to update the board's BIOS?

With your current CPU installed. Access the BIOS and use the q-flash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oyZDhv94k0
or look for similar.
