Hi and thank you for your time.

So I had a ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA and have been running a raid 5 for years now. It has the intel controller and I have been using intel rapid storage tech program in the so to monitor and what not. The raid itself was perfect upon last use. (Plex media server)

I started having overheating issues and I noticed after reseating CPU, changing thermal, and remounting h100, I would not get a image to show up. I looked at CPU pins and a few were bent and one just fell out. I never did anything knowingly to cause this but it is what it is now.

I did a little research and on the intel site it says I should be able to migrate my raid 5 over to a new mobo that uses a intel raid controller, can support the number of drives, and uses intel rapid storage tech.

I plan on purchasing GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard from newegg along with ram and kaby lake CPU. This board is supposed to run the intel raid controller and use IRST as well as having space for my 4 3tb WD reds.

Does my reason seem sound that I should be able to migrate my raid right over.

Any insight, tips, advice, what have you would be great. Tyvm

The CPU didn't go bad, the motherboard did. CPU pins for intel are on mobo

Answer:
I plugged everything in, making sure I plugged the raid drives into the intel controlled SATA. I went into bios and changed achi to Intel... and viola perfect. Recognized the 5 year old raid5 with zero problems. It booted off my OS SSD and all I had to do windows wise was reactivate my license because of hardware change.

I will mention 2 things though. I could not get into bios at all at first because the ram I bought was faster than 2133 and I also had to flash bios with a skylake CPU installed because it did not recognize my kaby lake. A buddy let me borrow his CPU and a stick of slower ram along with USB with newest bios to get her going.
