Hello there,

So I want to upgrade my PC from a i3-6100 to and i5-8400. However, looking at websites that tell me compatibility it says my motherboard won't be compatible with the i5-8400. But the i5-8400 needs a LGA 1151 socket and my motherboard has a LGA 1151 socket so I think it should be compatible.

So is the i5-8400 actually compatible with the MSI B150M Mortar or is it not?

Thanks!
 
Solution
No , same socket name , the socket itself is pinned differently .

Thank Intel for the confusion there.

I5 8400 requires h310,h370,b360 or z370 motherboards.
