Is this mobo compatible with a core i7-3770? building my frist...how good is this processor with 3.4 GHz for gaming? Thanks!

according to pcpartpicker dot com it is. This motherboard is built for overclocking so you would be happier with an ulocked chip but if you have an i7-3770 it would work per pcpartpicker dot com. I use this mobo with an i5-4670k and I am happy with it.

No it is not compatible with the i7-3770, at 3.4 Ghz is not bad but I'd go with an unlocked processor in order to overclock past 3.4 GHz

it is compatible with that CPU ... is a very decent cpu for gaming you will have no problem running any game in high settings.

Im not 100% sure but i would recommend getting the i7-4770k quad core for gaming. You would be very happy.

you would notice a difference in video conversion apps like handbreak and games that utilize more than 4 cores. such as the battle field 3 and 4. but generally speaking its not a bad processor if you plan on overclocking to 4ghz you will need a 120mm or 240 mm liquid cooler if you want to go higher than 4ghz. as they tend to get pretty hot. but as far as AM3 motherboards are concerned this is your best option. I can play bf4 on high /ultra settings I would pair this with a r9 290 and you would have a reasonable gaming machine..I have a gigabyte windforce r9 270x which lets me play high/ ultra settings at 1080p on those games i mentioned.

ummm... not sure by what u mean but i got me a motherboard, ram, video card, etc. dropped this in the socket, hooked up a cooler, installed windows, installed steam with all my games and have been gaming for months with no problems, even overclocked this bad boy to 3.7, plays any game out and i can do other things while playing my game such as streaming to twitch this is a great cpu i grabbed when on sale, but at the price now i would just go with the FX 6300.

Everything as expected. Great processor. Do you need any extreme gaming/computing? You got covered ;)Recognized by system as i7-3970X @ 3.50GHz

My question to you is what are you upgrading from? because I have this mobo with an A10-5800K and it works like a champ.

Not off this board. That processor is an AM2 and this board is for an AM3+ designed processor. You would need to get an AM3+ processor. Plus with the AM3+ you can go 8 core

Hi, this motherboard is compatible with the 3.5ghz AMD FX-X8 (FX-8320)?? thanks.

I have the same motherboard you do, but I upgraded my cpu to the 3770k. I used this Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM, and I use the GeForce GTX 670 OC. I don't have any stability problems. Games never crash on me. Other memory would say that it was rated at a high speed, and I'd set it to XMP and it would let me, but on reboot, ASUS would give me a warning message that the overclocking failed. This is the only memory that actually runs stably for me at the higher speeds. That's why I was happy with paying a bit more for it. I'm actually toying with the idea of getting another pair to make it 16gigs. It runs great on that awesome motherboard. I have the same motherboard you do, but I upgraded my cpu to the 3770k.

Hi EdYes this processor is in the CPU processor list, you can follow this Link: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H77%20Pro4-M/?cat=CPUI found it.The processor 1155 Core i7 i7-3770K(E0) Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz BCLK 100MHz 8MB 77W P1.10

Check the Gigabyte website for this motherboard and what CPUs are supported by this motherboard. Here's the link: http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=495. You should be good to go with this processor. Great MB.

Yes, this board supports the i7-4790k. That's what I'm using in my build. Be careful when installing, though, because this board over clocked it by default without even asking me, so it ran a little hot with the stock cooler. You can set it back to stock clocks in the BIOS.

The CPU is a 3GHz processor. It can be used in an LGA775 motherboard with an FSB up to 1333MHz. Your motherboard will determine your FSB and both CPU and RAM compatibility. I've used these CPUs with 1066 and 1333 MHz RAM with fantastic performance. I think it performs better than the Q9450 which is a Core 2 Quad with similar characteristics.

Yes, and I have successfully overclocked the the core to 4.5GHz (Turbo off, Cool 'n Quiet ON), with stock cooling, standard voltage--other people I know have reached 4.3GHz with standard cooling and voltage...has the added benefit of running @ 95W Max TDP. Six cores is all you need for gaming--don't know of a single game that uses more than 4-cores, actually...this is the cpu to buy

You should do a search to verify, but I believe the Intel Core i7-3770 Processor has 4 cores with increased performance by Hyper-Threading technology.

of course NOT. i7-4770k is LGA-1150 socket, this is LGA-1155. get the Z87 Mobo

This board is not really meant for anything besides getting an i7-3770k and knowing advanced overclocking to achieve a frequency higher than 4.7GHZ... otherwise, you're better off saving a lot of money and buying the standard 1155 Pro (blue) board which will automatically clock a 3770k to 4.6GHZ without any effort. Of course with overclocking, you will want the best cooler whether it be an all in one liquid loop/(full liquid system) or a huge heatsink with fans. No offence, but you should really just buy a cheaper ASUS 1155 board if you don't understand why you would get liquid cooling over a fan. It's not the board, it's what the board is meant to do to the CPU. Otherwise you're throwing money away.

Hi Watch Man, Can you restate your question so it can be answered properly? I have used the seller several times now and they don't sell what will not work as advertised or stated. If your motherboard and memory are designed for this CPU it will work very well indeed. There is only one level of increased performance 4 core Intel "socket 775 chip" and that one costs another $100. I am perfectly happy with this seller and the Intel 9550 CPU! Also since this seller is selling a refurbished chip your cost is about 1/4 of new; add that to the unconditional guarantee and you can't go wrong. I would never have been able to buy the 9550 new for $550! Hi Watch Man, Can you restate your question so it can be answered properly?
