Why does the listing have this statement in it: "Not compatible with Z87 or Intel Motherboards". I did not find this statement on the Intel site. Please explain.

In order to use this cpu the motherboard manufacturers need to release an updated bios. Gigabyte added compatibility for this cpu on most of their z87 boards today.

My ASUS Z87-Pro has both a BIOS update and a program to run to make the board compatible with Devil's Canyon (err this CPU).

My board, the Z87-Plus will work with this processor but it does require a bios update. A lot of other vendors are putting out their own updates as well.

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.

The MSI motherboard like most motherboards comes with a standard drivers to install and that should work considering the that it is compatible with 3rd Gen Intel ivy-bridge CPUs. If that does not work then try to use a different computer and get the most up-to-date drivers off of MSI's website and then put it on the computer. Of course this is assuming that your building a computer but it should work just fine without using the second method thats just more of a just in case situation. Bottom line is yes the motherboard is compatible with those CPUs you should have no problem with it.

From what I could find on it, its model number is MSI H61M-P31 which is an intel board and will not work. All manufacturers release a list of CPU's that are compatible with the motherboard on their website, with this processor especially it is important to find a motherboard that supports it.

Yes, but it's not compatible with the newer motherboards. If you have an old computer I'll sell it to you at a good price. I opened it new and realized it wasn't compatible. Never used.

from my research, most motherboards will work. i use Asus P8Z68 with intel i7 cpu. this MB has two of this card on it. Hope it helps.

Sorry, this might be getting out of my comfort level for answering and I'd hate to endorse something for you that may not work. I have installed this in two different computers at my house, both running AMD processors, and I had no issues, but as to MHz and motherboard compliance - you've got me. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Z97 is LGA1150... if you want to use that CPU, you'll have to get the X79 which is compatible with the LGA2011 socket.

In fact, you might want to use the new version similar MB supporting Z87, as "Asus Z87I-Deluxe LGA 1150 Intel Z87 Mini ITX Motherboard" in the same Amazon site. It is just $20-ish more. You will benefit more for being able to pairing i7-4770k with the Z87 chip-set. -- (Sorry, I just found out the new MB after I respond to you question minutes ago and I just send this reply as addition comment for you).

Go to www.intel.com They have a complete list of compatible processors. Be carefull. Stick to thier list and you will have this board and processor for a long time.

Yes, but I would suggest updating your motherboard bios if it's any chipset below Z97. Z87 boards are pretty good with it too, but update just to be safe.

Are you confusing ddr3 RAM with the memory on the video card...? 'Probably no conflict there. Appears to be pci-e, so the two should be compatible. Z77 has advanced to at least Z87 now, and this mobo is a little flaky (sometimes failing to detect usb add-on cards and coming up without the drivers loaded). Onboard usb is flaky too. Get a newer board, unless you have a CPU only good for Z77.

it's the second generation of AMD Phenom II processors so you may be talking about the third generation but I havent heard of it beforeyou must compare the features of the two processors against the prices and be sure if it's going to be compatible with your motherboard

The whole brand is discontinued!? That's a shame. I am unsure if it will work, I purchased this with a newer processor and motherboard, and I wouldn't say I am an expert.

No you can not (at least not officially). There are work-arounds you can do and some bios updates that you can apply but intel claims that it's an exploit and plans to patch it sometime. You need a Z87 for overclocking along with a "K" model intel processor.

Hey I have read an article about Intel's problems with it's Sandy Bridge processor. You might want to look into that prior to purchasing one.

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.

I would not be able to exactly respond to that because I use a asus z87 pro motherboard and I do not understand what the problem with the gigabyte motherboards and this psu were having...I would check on google and I am sure if you look into some more recent forums and or threads you will get your answer. I will even take a gander seeing as I have the day off and then I will get back to you about when I find out about the motherboards.
