i got two question. suppose if your cpu dies? do you have to get ANY motherboard? or motherboards have a certain model number etc? only reason why i ask becuase windows 10's costing is highly expensive. i want to use computer to download my anime pictures offline purchasing computers is vaguely high. on top of that, i don't really know does motherboards have a certain model number. and where would is be located?


second question is about the heatsink. on certain computers, does it tak cetain heatsinks? i got two windows xp computers. i killed one by accident. thw other's no longer working because of the system fan failed. so i would like to know about the heatsink becuase of the some of the processor is vagule big on some computers.

captaincharisma, so are you gonna ignore me? what exactly are you saying about "make sure it is supported"? does it have any numbers to tell whether it is supported or not? or any jacks? please tell me.
 


make sure the CPU you intend to get is supported by the motherboard. even if it fits there it is still possible it is not supported

hmm. like a same model? please tell me. how would you know whether if it's supported or not? only thing i'm asking is...just in case if i bought a new motherboard, i don't want to waste my money all for nothing
