CPU-socket compatibility

[Steppeulv]

Hi there,

 

Some years back I bought some cheap hardware that I really never got working:

• Motherboard: B75MA-P45     (socket: LGA115X - which I believe includes LGA1150)
• CPU             : G3258              (socket: FCLGA1150 - which I believe is referred to as simply LGA1150)

Then later not being able to get it working, I bought another motherboard at the time thinking it was an issue due to the socket or something I do not remember.

• Motherboard: Z87 MPOWER  (socket: 115XLM - which I believe to be compatible too for the LGA1150)

To clear it all up I guess my question simply is whatever or not both of these motherboards are compatible, and the issue may have been a fault with the chip or maybe more likely; an error on my part?

 

Many thanks for reading through my unsolved 6 year old mystery -- which intrigues me so much I am considering buying compatible hardware just to figure out what tortured me with this build .

The G3258 should be compatible with both of these motherboards, it's a regular Haswell processor (so not a refresh) and should be fine with any version of the BIOS. Wondering if the pentium itself is not working properly.

Thanks for the affirmation!

B75MA-P45 is 1155 

for second and third gen cpus

g3250  if forth gen

Sorry, I am really not sure how to interpret this.

B75MA-P45 is a motherboard for socket lga1155 which is used for second and third gen intel cpus

g3258 is for lga1150 which is a different socket altogether

Alright - thanks for you input , what about the 2nd motherboard (Z87 MPOWER)?

its the right motherboard for the chip.

Did misread that first one and thought it was B85
