Hello!

I just got myself a new PC and I have trouble putting in the CPU. It's the first PC that I build myself and I don't want to force it and end up breaking it. I know you're supposed to sit the CPU in the socket and close the lid, but it doesn't work.

CPU: AMD FX8350 (8 Core 4GHz)
Motherboard: GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK

Is it not compatible and I'm too dumb for not checking that before or I'm not doing it correctly? I only need to connect my graphic card and the processor to finish...

Please help me!

Edit: Is it possible that the socket only support Intel processor?! I can't find mine in the booklet...
 
Theyre not compatible with each other

The CPU is AMD the motherboard is Intel. Its the wrong socket

You'll have to change the CPU to an Intel CPU. Or change the mobo to an AMD mobo. One that CPU supports

You cant install AMD CPU's on Intel mobos. Or vice-versa
