Do you have to use 4th gen LGA1150 Processors? Can I use maybe 3rd gen with this mobo?

Unfortunately you cannot use 3rd gen processors with this mono, the 4th gen (haswell) socket is not backwards compatible.

This motherboard supports all processors that use the Intel 4th Generation 1150 socket [All Intel CPU's in the "Core" series (i.e. i3, i5, i7) and some models of Intel Pentium Dual Core that utilize the 4th generation LGA-1150 socket. (not to be confused with the "Intel Pentium D", which used the old 3rd Generation socket, and is NOT supported)] Hope this helped (:

This mobo -> 4ta generation socket 1150 (Haswell) i5-3570k -> 3ra generation socket 1155 (Ivy Bridge)NOT COMPATIBLE!!!

Yes. That's what I'm using in it and it works great. The key thing with motherboards and CPUs is to make sure the socket type matches. Socket type is LGA 1150 in this case.

I don't recall...but I bought mine a few months back and it worked immediately with the AMD A10-7850K chip. I wouldn't worry about compatibility at this point. The old product is most likely pushed through. GREAT MOBO.

No, you will not, there are special motherboard for this processor, like GA-990FXA, due to the power consumption of this processor.

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 totally depends on your motherboard. You need to find out if your motherboard has the right chipset to accept this processor.

The simple answer is that you will need a motherboard with an LGA 1150 socket; however, there are considerations, other than the processor, when you select a motherboard...

As long as you have a PCI-Express slot, yes. I forget now, but this card either uses PCI-E 2, or 3. If it is 3, then running it in a 2.0 will bottleneck your card (Not too badly, though). Otherwise, not a problem. I can't find your motherboard model anywhere, otherwise it'd be very short.

Yes. The PCIe 3.0 spec is backwards compatible, however there may be some minimal performance loss over a Gen 3 slot.

Yes, you can use that motherboard with this CPU. It's an AM3+ socket CPU and the motherboard has that socket type. Gigabyte makes good mobos, as well.

Yes, I'm using mine with the Intel Core i5-4690S LGA 1150 for an HTPC application.If the one you purchase comes with the 1.6 bios as mine did, you'll have to flash the Bios & ME file to a later revision.Latest is 1.8.If you don't update the bios and ME file, the board won't boot up properly with the 1150 chipset.I'm using a Samsung SSD as the boot drive and it works without issue.I'm very pleased with the board, etc.

Seems like it. I googled the compatibility, found this;Q:"Is the i5 4430 LGA1150 cpu compatible and efficient with the MSI Z97 ATX LGA1150 mother board?" A: "Yes, any LGA1150 MoBo to be precise." Which this product is a LGA 1150 motherboard. Source: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2330073/4430-z97-atx-lga1150-compatible.html

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

Make sure the Motherboard supports Pcie 2.0 or 3.0 and that the cpu supports pcie 2.0. In my opinion it should work. But just verify what I mentioned above

Yes...your CPU chip set isn't a factor. ...you need a PCI-e slot...which all motherboards over the last 5 years have.
