I really want to know what i will have to replace when i buy it.
I am switching from a Z270 to a Z370 because i need it for the i7 8700k...I am scared that i will need to replace my cooler and rams...please give me some advice!Thanks!
 
Solution
Your RAM will most probably work with new motherboard, and Cooler will fit new CPU (same physical size of CPU socket) , no need to replace anything.
