First of all there's no reason that you simply ought to bu y Intel Core i5-2500K i do not perceive is why you would like to pay additional once you have stated that you simply don't need to overclock in the least ? that's wasting cash for no reason. Why not simply obtain the 2500 or one among the opposite models that don't seem to be multiplier unlocked as they're cheaper ?

If you're dead set on the 2500K then there's no reason it will not work.

The reason that I am shopping for this Intel Core i5-2500K is as a result of I am aiming to embrace Intel HD Graphics 3000 that needed the that specific CPU I actually have noted that everybody contemplate this CPU, is created only for overclock and its forbidden to use if you do not overclock it . don’t apprehend why currently i used to be simply thinking that if I opt for i5-2400 with IntelHD Graphics 2000 can, mobo is ok during this case?

You are not restricted to only this a selection it isn't the you'll only use the i5 2500k for overclocking however you'll get an i5 2500 that is cheaper however cannot be over clocked. i believe that's what Dark Mantis was concerning when he said that. are you able to conjointly ensure the motherboard that you simply are talking concerning as i can not notice it on the Gigabyte web site.

Yes are fully correct concerning this . i used to be simply attempting to mention there's no purpose in paying additional for a CPU that supports overclocking if you do not wish to use that feature. You’ll save concerning £10 by shopping for the 2500 with the multiplier locked or maybe a lot of by getting the 2400 or one thing similar.

You're right, I failed to see this motherboard on the Gigabyte web site, i don't apprehend why. In my country, it's for sale. i'd wish to apprehend what you're thinking that concerning this motherboards, as a result of the costs are identical. ok, I use i5-2400 during this case I actually have onboard graphics Intel HD 2000, not 3000 - no downside if you say therefore.
