How do I tell if a mobo on an ebay listing is compatible with i5 3570?

David_24 · Jan 21, 2018

I got several parts already I want to buy an i5 3570 and mobo used off ebay in Canada. Seems like the best value video acording to the good old gamers latest video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeK9a6lKkNU
I already have r5 case
750w psu
950 gtx

I heard that some of the mobos for 1155 need a bios update or a different cpu to get the bios update.

The issue here is you honestly want to be steering clear of the hp,lenovo,dell,intel branded boards.
Most of those (if not all) have limited bios updates & while they may support the 3570 youll be stuck when it comes to upgrading the gpu etc in the future.

Youll struggle to find a decent branded board at a decent price nowadays though.

So youre actually needing cpu ,ram & motherboard ??

What do you have to spend on those 3 components?

It very may might, but according to:

That is not a compatible motherboard. I can look more into it. Perhaps only certain processors were built with certain capabilities that are meant for specific motherboards, while all sharing the same socket configuration.

The only way you can know which BIOS is compatible with that processor is to check with each MB's manufacturer CPU compatibility list. With MBs from brand nae computers it's very tricky and may not have such a list. Very often they are not even compatible with standard cases and all connectors may be non-standard. I would keep away from MBs like that or you may have to take chances with compatibility.

Any H77, Z77, Q77, B75 board is compatible.
Any H67, Z68, Q67, Q65, H61, B65 is compatible, when with appropriate BIOS update.

is it possible to update those bios with only the 3570 cpu? Also should I just get the k series if i'm getting those 77 75 mobos?

It might be.
Anyway - it's better to choose 7 series board.

You should look at 3rd or up gen i5's since even 4th gen i5's go for real cheap nowadays are a bit better and the motherboards are lower priced. You can even still find some new.
