Will this New MOBO Work with my CPU?
Hello all,
I recently got some spare money and I'm trying to fix a PC that broke several months ago. The PC that broke is a lenovo h50-50, but the motherboard broke back in May. I have found a different motherboard for my system, and I believe it should work because it has the same LGA that my cpu will support. My cpu is a core i3 4160.
Here's my list I've built:
logo897 - Saved Part Lists - PCPartPicker
The problem is that it says there's "compatibility check" "You may have to update the motherboard bios prior to haswell cpu use"
I am nervous that I will get the new mobo and put everything together and something will break due to incompatibility. Will that happen if the mobo isn't updated? How can I tell the mobo has to be updated?
Thanks
