what cpu upgrade path is there with the motherboard used in the 889? Will it accept all current 4th gen intel cpu and/or upcoming 5th gen?

Not sure, but this beast of a machine has plowed though everything I have thrown at it at max settings, so speed shouldn't be a problem for quite a long time to come.

Hi.no,the board does not support that cpu.here's a list of supported processors:http://tinyurl.com/a9oxfwy

Hi Jennifer. Best way to answer this is to just go to Intel site: http://processormatch.intel.com/MotherBoards/CompatibleBoards?componentName=i5-3350P , Here you can find out all the specs and MB that the processor is compatible with.

From Gigabyte's website, the FX-9590 is supported on Revision 4.0. Have fun building your beast!

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.

Assuming you are trying to ask if the i7-4790K is compatible with this board, then yes, as the 4790K is a S1150 chip. http://ark.intel.com/m/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz#@product/specifications

Hi Mirna: The best place to find processor compatibility is on the Intel website. Enter the motherboard model : DH87RL in the search. Go to the link for: Intel Desktop Board DH87RL. You will see a link for Compatible processors in the "More Information" box. Follow this link to look up compatible I3 processors This will show you without a doubt which I3 to order. Hope this helps as I always verify processors and memory modules are compatible with the Intel motherboard. Enjoy the weekend! Jack

I doubt it since the cpu is an older generation. But its always best to have all hardware up to date so definitely update it.

this is 2nd generation motherboard is not compatible with an intel core i3 cpu 3rd generation ...

if you check the gigabyte website and lookup the motherboard there is an actual list. it updates periodically. im running a 3.6 ghz 8 core and thinking about upgrading to a 5 ghz 8 core at the moment. I think that a new motherboard would work faster, but I could still run it, although a newer case a super full tower (bigger than an 9 5 1/4" bays tower) would fit correctly because of the heatsink and dual liquid cool fans that I have space requirement is max. a liquid cooled system entirely would work nicely with a larger case than antec gamer 900. the thing with the motherboard isn't only what you can upgrade it to but can it all fit and work optimally correctly together. if you check the gigabyte website and lookup the motherboard there is an actual list. it updates periodically. im running a 3.6 ghz 8 core and thinking about upgrading to a 5 ghz 8 core at the moment.

The i7-4790k has an LGA 1150 socket, whereas the i5-3330 that you first purchased has an LGA 1155 socket. If you want to upgrade to the i7 chipset you'll need the i7-3770k which also has the LGA 1155 socket. Hope this helps.

Yes you can use any CPU the new CPUs use am3+ socket but old ones are only am3 so this motherboard can handle both

This is a great motherboard but it does not support the processor your looking at. Below are a few links in the board you looked at, the processor you looked at and a link to Gigabyte who will have a board that will work well. Intel seems to be getting out of the desktop board industry, the are focusing a lot on server products, processors and the Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing).

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.

There is nothing that this CPU cannot run. Just because intel benchmarks higher does not mean this CPU is slow. I love my 8350 and will be using it for the next 5 years. Only Intel i7s are faster and you honestly have to go out of your way to notice the speed increase. It is not a day and night difference. Do not let anyone tell you differently.

Yes. Supports 4th gen Intel processors with 1150 chipset. The (fc) refers to the way the chip will be physically installed on the motherboard. As long as you have done or seen a cpu installation before, you should be fine. If not youtube has thousands of demonstrations.
