Check if H61mxe board works with i7 3770 processor
Unlikely unless it supports the latest BIOS for 3rd generation compatibility, which could be missing. I'd go with an i5 2400 or 2500—safer and more affordable.
This site seems to be inaccurate. The URL points to a different product than what's listed.
Review the update notes and compatibility details for the 2018 BIOS release. Check if it explicitly mentions support for 3rd generation components.
Review the change details section. It’s likely there isn’t a separate motherboard available, making this situation very rare.
If it confirms and you're open to their claim, proceed. 3770 is just slightly improved over 2600.
You're suggesting the manufacturer's claims aren't reliable. You mentioned picking the i7-3770 because it offers 4000 HD graphics, and since you lack a dedicated graphics card, you're using an eGPU. That's understandable—just making sure you're informed. No worries at all! Thanks for reaching out.
The issue involves Foxconn, which doesn't sell boards directly like Asus, ASRock, Gigabyte, or MSI do. They manufacture these boards for companies that sell prebuilt units intended for use in their products. Software updates are handled by the companies that provide prebuilt solutions, while BIOS versions can come from either side—sometimes firms prefer custom BIOS to avoid compatibility issues with Foxconn's originals. Also, locating Foxconn's official page for this board was challenging; it seems you might be looking at a seller instead. I couldn't find it even using Chinese search engines locally.
