Hello,
I have my motherboard: SUSTeK COMPUTER INC. CM6731_CM6431_CM6331 Rev X.0x
Motherboard serial number: 121105053301544
Manufacturer (system): ASUSTeK Computer INC.
Model (system): CM6731_CM6431_CM6331-8

and an Intel Pentium G2120 processor clocked at 3.10 GHz
Number of cores: 2 physical, 2 logical
Socket: Socket 1155 LGA

and I would like to buy a core i5, and if that’s not possible, a core i3

Thank you for your reply.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 29.0

    Hi

    Just tell us the exact model of your Asus PC, it will be easier to find.

    Regarding the socket, yes it's possible; the i3 and i5 Sandy Bridge (2nd) and Ivy Bridge (3rd generation) on socket 1155.

    But it's not just the socket that matters.

    Before asking a question: 1° Turn on your brain, your PC doesn't think for you!
    2° Google is your friend, and the search engine of CCM is too, do some research!

      yes but paying 200 for an incompatible processor would hurt me

      Well, there isn’t just one version of the CM6431; there’s one with an i5-2320 3.0GHz and they all have the same motherboard.

      And what graphics card do you have, and what power supply? I assume you want to upgrade your PC for gaming.

      I will try to find a second-hand i5-23xx/24xx to keep costs down.
