Lenovo H420 Upgrading from a i5-2320 to a i7-2600

[SauceBauce]

So I was wanting to get a i7-2600, So I kinda know it's was going to be supported but before that I would want to confirm that it would work cause that it's a second gen, Then I can't really find what kind of chip set it has cause it has to H61 and read somewhere that it's a H77 but was not sure about that so I was thinking of still getting it but not sure if it would work and just not post or boot into windows, So then I figured I should ask people who know more about compatibility and all that jazz

Hard one for old hardware.  In your situation I’d try to find the manual and see if it is listed as a supported chip.  If the paper one is gone there might still be one online.

 

also that was one of the longest single sentences I’ve read in maybe a year.

h61 is the barebone chipset which you can only buy new right now, all other stopped production...

other chipsets have fancier io/ ports/ slots etc

 

only consider when you have everything else already on hand
