I have a MSI H61M-P23 B3 Intel H61 Motherboard, running Windows 7 with 8g ram. LGA1155, with an Intel® Core i3-2120 BX80623I32120. My question is can I drop an Intel Core i5-2400 3.10 BX80623I52400 into this mobo without any problems? I assume of course I may have to tweak the BIOS or will it recognize the change?
