Hey all! Quick question here regarding the CPU compatibility of my motherboard.
I sold my i7 6700k last year in route to getting rid of my PC. I'd like to get it back up and running again, but I really don't need an i7 for what I will be doing.
I have an MSI Z170a SLI Plus motherboard.
Will I be able to drop an i5 in it?
Will I run into BIOS issues?
I attempted to look on the MSI website but I am at a loss. (My computer knowledge nowadays is limited :/ )
Thanks so much !
The socket is 1151 (Does this mean any i5 with 1151 CPU socket will work?)
