cpu to motherboard

danillya123456 · Aug 22, 2017

ok so i have a ga-78lmt-s2 motherboard and my cpu is a amd fx(tm)-4300 quad-core processor, 3.8 mhz and i was wondering if i could fit a intel core i7-7700k into my motherboard thanks

No. Intel CPUs will not work with AMD motherboards, nor the other way around. Even if you have an Intel motherboard, it must be the same socket AND have a supported chipset for the CPU. Same with AMD.

dude, u have a AMD mobo, and u're asking if u could fit intel CPU on it?
no offense, but have u ever seen someone build a thing that supports their competitor's product? (like a Razer Deathadder able to be synced into Logitech Gaming Software? or a Rival 100 controllable with CUE [Corsair Utility Engine]?)
no? well, figures...

Technical answer:
No, No, and No....
FX series uses AM3 socket (from AMD)
while i7 7700k uses LGA 1151 (from Intel)
7700k also uses DDR4 RAM which means if u're going to upgrade, u gonna have to say bye bye to your DDR3 RAM too (more expense)
if u're going to upgrade, u're gonna need a new mobo which supports the socket that ur CPU is going to use, new RAM according to your new system (most new gens uses DDR4) and an aftermarket cooler (if u're purchasing Intel's K version CPU)

Nope the motherboard only supports AM3+ CPU's. Here is a list of CPU's that motherboard supports.

You should get a asrock b350 motherboard, with a Ryzen 1200, and 8GB's of RAM.

elbert :

I can agree with this suggestion. If you have the money to spend on a 7700K but not a motherboard, Ryzen 3 is a solid choice for a CPU.

Even if you can afford the 7700K + mobo + RAM, the 7700K is about to become succeeded by the 8700K likely within the next month. Ryzen 5 1600 is a great alternative to the 7700K and would be recommended over the Ryzen 3 1200 if your budget allows.

ok thanks for the help now i have a 1050ti which CPU do you recommend i use then so i dont get bottlenecked?

elbert · Aug 22, 2017

Any ofthe Ryzens 1200 and up with a b350 for overclocking. A i5 or higher should also do.

No you can't use the Ryzen CPU because it need AM4 socket. Your socket is the older AM3. It looks like you have enough to spend on a new motherboard and RAM with a new CPU.
