The Core i7-5775C will work on most 9-series motherboards with BIOS support. Just be advised, that’s not exactly straightforward. To get a Core i7-5775C up and running you just have to update the BIOS. You may need something like Asus USB BIOS Flashback that only require:
System requirements:
◾Power supply
◾USB storage formatted to FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS
◾ASUS motherboard featuring USB BIOS Flashback
or you may need a different CPU that works with an early BIOS version number.
There are slim pickins when it comes to Intel 9 series Chipset motherboards as most all models are no longer produced. You may find some models on eBay.
The fancy BIOS thing. Motherboards that new don't usually use old legacy BIOS and have the UEFI ones. Some have ability to switch to legacy style. A UI based around Gigabyte’s old style of BIOS is present on the Z97X-Gaming 7 motherboard. Users with experience in the old interface may welcome the BIOS-style layout. (see page 4 of link)
