Does anyone know if this motherboard will support the Intel i5 2500k CPU? I believe the 2500k is a 2nd generation so it's kind of hard to tell.

This board is for the CPU socket LGA1155, that only Supports 2nd 3rd Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron Processors. If you can match the CPU socket with those 3rd Gen CPU, you'll have a great stable mobo. I have mine since Ivy Bridge started and now even a BSOD.... Not a single one.... Ever. You can have your 2500k CPU to work with it but with 3rd Gen prices, I'll strongly suggest that, if you're not in a budget, get a 3rd Gen CPU.

Are you sure the mother board is meant for that CPU? Make sure you are using a motherboard that has a LGA 1155 socket. Also if nothing boots up, it could also mean that one of the pins is messed up. Take a magnify glass and look at the pins on the bottom of the CPU. Make sure none are bent or broken. In any case if you know the motherboard supports the LGA 1155 socket and worked before the new CPU, I would ask Amazon for a refund/exchange.

In the Z77A-GD65's CPU support page, 2500K appears listed.http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-GD65.html#/?div=CPUSupportHowever, I recommend you the i5-3570K processor. It performs great in this motherboard, and is cheaper.

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.

It works in any 1155 Socket, anyway on the manufacturer's site you can see this processor in the CPU Support List of your motherboard. Telling the truth that's my same motherboard model Here you can see it: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H61M-VG3/?cat=CPU

I'm using a third generation cpu, but you shouldn't have any compatibility issues with the cpu, if anything you might have an issue with you're mobo. Make sure it's compatible with 2400 ram

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

No it won't. The board is a socket FM2 and the CPU you list is a Socket AM3+. You'll want to find a motherboard that has AM3+, then you should be good to go.

that cpu is actually socket AM2+, it is still compatible with this motherboard, no issues

No, you're going to need an AM3 or AM3+ motherboard for that CPU. I would suggest the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3, it has roughly comparable features to this board and is compatible with that CPU.

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 (:

according to Asus website, it does support that cpu. Go to Asus.com and click on support. It shows you all the cpu's and the proper firmware version you need to make it work that particular CPU to work on the motherboard. Good luck.

Kyle knight asked "can i use a i5 2500k on this and be able to OC" The i5 2500k can be used.........See below http://www.msi.com/support/mb/H61MP32W8.html#support-cpu Processor Core Name CPU No FSB CPU Speed L2 L3 Stepping Wattage Result Core i5 Sandy Bridge i5-2500K 100 3.30 1M 6M D2 95 7788vA6.zip http://www.msi.com/product/mb/#?shoppingnavigation=10&category=130&statement=10&name=Overclock According to the link above, only the following can be over clock.

Sorry Frank. I'm still waiting for the CPU. I ordered this M/B and the 20th Anniversary Intel CPU. Haven't got the CPU in yet so have not fired up this board.

Just keep in mind that not all I7 CPU's are LGA 1155 sockets....the new I7s ...4th generation I7s are LGA 1150 and we not work with this board...

Not all CPU's work on all motherboards. Check your motherboard documentation and make sure it supports this CPU. You need the board to support an LGA 1155. If it does then check to make sure you have it oriented properly. I can't remember if this CPU has pins or not on the bottom but if so, make sure none of them are bent. If everything checks out then I would contact Amazon about a replacement.

Yes, it supports the Intel Core i5-4690K. It can even overclock it. I currently have a i5-4670K on it overclocked at 4.5 GHz.
