This processor works with this motherboard right, with the Bios updated to f9d? GA-M61PM-S2

I would suggest going to the manufacturer's site and checking for supported CPUs for that particular board. Contacting the manufacturer may also be a good idea since you have updated the BIOS.

As long as your CPU is LGA 1366, it will work. I use the I use the 1st generation i7 930 and have had no problems. Hard to find good motherboards for our chipsets these days.

It should work but the more important question is: what is your motherboard? Compatibility with your mobo is more crucial than your CPU. Also, it is always a good idea to update you bios when you upgrade any of these 3: CPU GPU Memory ram

No, you would need to update the BIOS. Go to the MSI site, look for this particular product, then look in the area for the product for Support (NOT the support listed at the top of the page) and then for compatibility. The BIOS update needed should be there. You can also look for Updates there as well.

This processor should work fine with this motherboard. My boy put one of these processors in his computer and it has worked great! This processor is low power 95w if I remember right. No guarantees my friend. If you are buying the chip for under $100 and please remember to replace your mother board battery. Those were my last 3 failures. If you fail buy another motherboard.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/memory/AOD790GX128M.pdf that is the website for the memory compatibility for your motherboard

Dear R. Dominguez, it doesn't work because the socket of the motherboard is LGA 1155 and the processor is designed to match with socket LGA1156, a previous generation, i suggest a compatible processor, like 3570k or 3770k .

I am sorry, but I cannot answer your question. I have an AMD E350 processor in my ASRock E350M1 motherboard, and it works fine.

No. That is an "AM3" motherboard. The processor requires an "AM3+" motherboard.

Yes, it does. I have the same CPU and an LGA1155 motherboard along with this RAM and it works fine, no problems.

It seems to be on the supported cpu list here - http://us.msi.com/support/mb/A88XME45.html#support-cpudo a find on 860k when your on that page. The correct bios file is listed at the far right

It's compatible with the i7-4790 using the latest bios. It is not compatible with the i7-4790k.

Sorry, I do not know, actually I still have my mine, it didn't work in my current MB, I need to get another MB, but not sure which one myself, I know the bio is different for this processor, that is why it won't work in my present MB, that has problems.

I've read that this new part can draw slightly more power than the previous version, and that this change may require a corresponding BIOS update and/or render previous testing of older motherboards incomplete. Bottom line is I would look for some indication such as a statement from your motherboard vendor that it will be compatible.

Off the top of my head, I do not know. I do know that just because a motherboard has an LGA 1150 socket, doesn't mean that the processor will work -- I got bit by that a couple of times (an expensive mistake). The thing to do is visit Intel's processor compatibility web page, and cross-check with what ASUS's web page says about the Maximus VI Gene. I'll see if I can find the Intel web page (it's very good for that purpose, but not trivial to find) and respond again.

If I am not mistaken, yman your motherboard is an M2N68-LA, which is an AMD motherboard. This cpu would not work
