Is a GA-H55M-D2H Socket 1156 compatible with a Radeon R9 280x 3GB, 384Bit?
Hay guys, long time reader first time poster and im in a bit of a pickle arghhh.... I recently bought a R9 280x 3GB 384BIT graphics card for a real good price but after hours of struggling to get the card to boot iv discovered through the rather insightful forum that my motherboard is not supported I basically have a 1st gen i5 1156 Sock Intel motherboard.
Now after phoning all over my city iv realized I cant get 1156 sock boards anymore but i have found some online but more specifically im looking at the GigaByte GA-H55M-D2H, the Radeon website gives it a performance rating of 5.5 out of 10 but more importantly its compatible or so they say, basically i would like to know what you guys think? should i go ahead with the deal or do you maybe foresee any conflicts in brand maybe?
I just need some guidance as i cannot afford any 4th gen components at the moment.
many thanks! Brad
