Will my cpu work with my new motherboard?

Zmanrocks · Jun 21, 2017

Sorry if I seem stupid but I want to know if my currently CPU (Intel I5 4690k) will work with my new motherboard.

Old motherboard: Gigabyte z97x gaming 3

New motherboard: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO/Whetstone (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132855&cm_re=asus_hero_motherboard-_-13-132-855-_-Product)

Also I want to know if this motherboard will work with this case... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133335&cm_re=thermaltake_view_31-_-11-133-335-_-Product

No

Yes

why wont it work?

Zmanrocks :

That motherboard can only take LGA 1151 processors, which means Skylake and if the BIOS is updated, usually Kaby Lake. You cannot use a Haswell CPU in this motherboard. You'd have just as much luck as playing a Blu-Ray in a VCR.

It wont work because the Motherboard has a different Socket for the CPU

Motherboard: 1151
CPU: 1150

Those are as much as i know not compatible

Memphisto :

Well if thats the case. will my old motherboard work in the case?

DSzymborski · Jun 21, 2017

Zmanrocks :

Yes. The form factors are fairly standardized, the only case problems you run into is size of components sometimes, but that wouldn't be a likely problem wiht the new case you linked.

So my 1050 ti single fan and 4690k WITH a cpu cooler (https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-RR-212E-20PK-R2-120mm/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498032589&sr=8-1&keywords=cpu+cooler)

No obvious reason to see a problem.
