My motherboard fried and I am looking for an identical replacement. Only, the motherboard is an Acer H81H3-AM V1.0 with socket 1155 according to specs, and CPU is an i5-4460, socket LGA1150. Is this normal ? Are these two normally compatible or is there a mistake.

          The motherboard is an Acer H81H3-AM V1.0 with socket 1155 according to specs




          Based on my research, the Acer H81H3-AM is an LGA 1150 motherboard, not an LGA 1155 motherboard. Which means the motherboard is compatible with an i5-4460.



          enter image description here




          Are these two normally compatible or is there a mistake.




          Yes, they are indeed compatible with one another. Yes, your specification source for the motherboard appears to be incorrect.




          Knowing the i5-4460 is 1150, and if the 1155 and 1150 aren't compatible




          LGA 1155 and LGA 1150 are not compatible with one another, but that does not matter since H81 is a Haswell chipset, and ALL Haswell motherboards are LGA 1150. The M2632G is an Acer desktop computer, with an 1150 Pentium G3250, which is an LGA 1150 processor.

          • @alfred - The motherboard you are asking about is an LGA 1150 motherboard. Based on the motherboard chipset, it's a Haswell, all Haswell motherboards are LGA 1150. I will not address if you should contact the supplier, that is something you will have to decide, I can only answer the question you asked. Any additional comments will be reported as not being necessary.
