    Does anyone know, what would be the best CPU for MS-16F2 motherboard (2gen)???

    I have bought gtx970m but I only have I7-2630QM... I am afraid CPU will harm GPU performance.

    What do You think would be the best CPU for this motherboard and GPU?

    I have found this site: http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket G2 (rPGA988B).html

    Does it mean that ms-16f2 can work with i7-3940xm or with i7-3840Qm???

    i7-2630qm is 32nm technology and has 45wat TDP
    i7-3840qm is 22nm technology and has 45wat TDP
    i7-3940xm in 22nm technology and has 55wat TDP

    Can anyone help with this???

    Officially 2840qm, but the 2920xm/2940xm should also work. No 3xxx series support, the 16F3 introduced that.

    Didn't they change the socket/pin setup to 3xxx, too?
