I am using Acer x1930 Motherboard, will it support my i7- 2600s because the manual (which i dowloaded from the internet) said it only support CPU INTEL CORE I3 2100, i3 2120, I5 2300, I5 2400, I5 2500, I7 2600, G620, G840, G850.
But im using Pentium G630. (not in support list)
So will the 2600s fit perfectly or i have to update the BIOS. But Acer's support site dont hav any BIOS for the MOBO!
Please help me because i dont have much time. And can you show me the new BIOS version if it have. Srry for my bad English!

Both of the cpu, the i7 2600s and G630, are the Sandy Bridge, and your MB is the H61 so that the i7 2600s will fit without any BIOS update. Because 1) the i7 2600s is the lower power version of the i7 2600, 2) Because you are using the G630 right now, I check both of cpu, Intel launched the i7 2600s on Jan 2011, the g630 was released on Aug 2011. That means if you casn use the g630 you should be able to use the i7 2600s, as you know the MB needs the new BIOS for the newer hardware.
