CPU COMPATIBILITY

[THE ORGANIST]

I have an H61h2-ad Mobo and currently have Pentium G630 on it, i searched for compatible CPUs and it says i5 2nd Gen quad.

Now since a 2nd gen i5 will be compatble, can I also use the i7 2nd gen on it? and if es, any 2nd gen i7 procie  that you can suggest?

Thanks!

Just be sure the motherboard bios is up to date, should be fine.

just in addition i found out that my mobo is on 65w max, but the i5 2500 is 95watt cpu, is that gonna be fine?
