Does H81 support Devil's Canyon? (4590)

[RyanMacRocks]

Hi guys, I posted a thread a few weeks ago on building a mini ITX computer, and I was going to use something likes this H81 board but somebody told me that it wouldn't support the 4460/4590/4690. I thought it would work just fine (possibly after a BIOS update). What do you think?

 

If I have to do a BIOS update I could just put my Pentium G3420 in and switch it out for the new CPU once the update is done.

they do, the h81m is often paired with an i3.

[MoonlightSylv]

It should but you won't getting any crazy overclocks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can I have the Pentium?

It should work fine, just flash the BIOS if needed with your Pentium. I use a Haswell Refresh Xeon E3-1231v3 with an H81 board.

4590 is actually called Haswell Refresh, only the 4690k and 4790k are Devils Canyon. You might need a BIOS update, but Haswell Refresh works fine with H81. However, you'll need an original Haswell CPU to do the BIOS update unless you get a board that can be flashed with just a USB drive. The only boards I know supporting this are all Asus.

well thats wrong, the 4790k is devils canyon, the 4690k is haswell refresh

 

none of the cpus op mentioned are devils canyon, i  think he got mixed up, all are haswell.

Why? I'm not planning to overclock and its more than double the price for no extra usable features for me.

Can I have the Pentium?

Sorry bro, I'm already selling my whole old computer to a friend.

It's completely up to you. Z97 can only OC not H97

Ok.

Yeah the 4690k is Devils canyon and haswell refresh mate (same thing).
