I have an Intel DQ67SW motherboard with a Core i5-2500 CPU and I want to upgrade the CPU to Core i7-3770. I checked CPU support list on Intel's website it is not given there, but on Game Debate it is given as a compatible CPU.

If anyone has done this upgrade this please tell me. Also I'd be thankful for any advise you have about BIOS.

Your motherboard does not support 3rd Generation Core processors.

For desktop boards based on the Intel® Q67 Express Chipset, Intel® Q65 Express Chipset, or Intel® B65 Express Chipset, upgrading from a 2nd Generation to a 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processor isn't possible.

The Intel DQ67SW is a Intel Q67 Express Chipset motherboard.
