I'm sorry, I thought this referred toa processor I just bought. To answer your question, you need to buy a socket LGA1155.

This processor should be considered third generation, with Ivy Bridge-E microarchitecture, was released in the 3rd quarter of 2013. If you are looking for 4th gen processors, you should look into the i7 Haswell chips.

hi that motherboard 1155 socket use intel third generation instead using 4670 it 3570 or 3300 and keeps going because. That cpu i5 4670 k the motherboard is1150 socket and it won't fit. here is the link to inter third generation i5 http://ark.intel.com/products/family/65504#@Desktop.Keep in mind the socket thats very important because you will have problem trying installing it

I spoke with ASUS a few days ago to ask this same question and the ASUS rep could not answer the question. This is ridiculous. Could Toyota get away with this by telling the customer, "The specs don't tell me what type of engine is installed". It's really unbelievable. Some customers want to know these details to determine what upgrade options they have before they purchase the unit. It's not a difficult or silly question to ask. Since I was really upset with the ASUS rep and his inability to tell me the specs or the motherboard model, I asked to escalate the issue and he told me others would tell me the same thing. Unbelievable for a company, which has won so many awards and built millions of motherboards. ASUS - get your act together! So embarrassing!

You need to take it to next level and complain to their supervisor or above since this is an expensive motherboard. Why are they sending you refurbish boards? It's no wonder why they all DOA

Based on my research, it is a 4th Generation Intel Core i5 processor. http://ark.intel.com/products/75047/intel-core-i5-4670-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3_80-ghz

Yes! I'm rocking an OC i7 3820 on this board and it absolutely screams. Couldn't be happier with the board + cpu choice, especially for the money. I built my machine before the 4th generation i7's came out though, so I can't comment on whether it's worth it to get a 4 series or not.

I bought one of these motherboards and will not start, even with or without RAM. Amazon said they would send a new one, and responsibly did. This did not work either. I gave up. I am outside of the United States, specifically in Venezuela, and is a problem for me to return and bring the country back to the things I bought in the US. Sorry I can not help you more.

The motherboard I have for sale should have version 4701 dated 2014/06/23. It was just returned from ASUS support as an RMA replacement and is certified 'like new' by ASUS.

I do not own the other motherboards to compare but I had to return ARRock 990FX Extreme4 because it did not post.

If you're talking about the seller that says 1GB, it is most likely 1GB. When these first came out, they had only 1GB to start with, and you are able to upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (That's what the motherboard supports; Any more than 2GB and it won't be used - With that said, I wouldn't trust the sellers with 4GB ones.) Even if you did buy a 1GB one, upgrading that to 2GB is VERY cheap nowadays, so you don't have to worry.

I bought the 3.4 ghz chip. Installed and when system boots I get an error that the current chip isn't compatible. If I continue the PC runs and faster. Think the problem is that the chip 3.4 ghz is dual CPU. E520 bios doesn't support a dual CPU chip. Just my thoughts.

Bought mine in October, 2013. It is Rev. 1.0. The bios, drivers and utilities need to be updated from the ones on the disk included with the Rev 1.0 MB. Just go to the ASUS website and compare the dates of the updated stuff with the dates on the disk files. You'll be good to go! Great board imho.

1.0 most likely, but you might get lucky and get one from the new stock. It's a crap board anyway, only 4-phase CPU power connector. There are far better options for mini itx in this price range. The GA-Z97N-Gaming 5 for instance.

What do they mean by updating BIOS. Is this the kind of setup you spend long frustrating hours on? Should I opt for a different brand/model (suggestions?)?
