I have a tiny GA-H61M-DS2 motherboard, and was wondering whether an i5-3750k would fit on it? If I wanted to overclock it, which I don't think I can on my current motherboard, which micro atx board would I need to overclock it?

Hmm, how would I go about doing that? Also, would I have to update it (if it isn't already bios 4 atm) before I install the i5-3750k?

will tell you how to flash to F4

to check if you're already running F4 bios download CPUID and under Mainboard tab you will see your bios version.

Having troubles installing CPUID, it keeps downloading that optimum installer crap, which i've read is dodgy...

I did it manually through a command - DELL - 1072009
BIOS Date: 03/23/12 19:41:27 Ver: 04.06.05
BIOS Date: 03/23/12 19:41:27 Ver: 04.06.05

Is that ok?

CPUID will have more than 1 link to download. Select another.

if you download gigabyte @bios it should tell you the current version and automatically get the newest version for you

......then you should be at or above F4 and good to go (as long as you ran @bios - can't remember if it automatically runs).

yeah

looks like theres been 6 different revisions of that motherboard

yours seems to be version 2.2

latest bios f8

edit--looks like version 2.0 and 2.1 and 2.2 use the same bios

they all show a version f7 with the date you said
