    Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Please contact the system or motherboard manufacturer before upgrading your desktop processor. They are familiar with your system specifications and the different upgrade options available. Make sure that the BIOS supports your new processor. A lack of BIOS support for your processor can cause the system not to boot or display.

  • i have a Prime B660M-A AC D4 motherboard paired with an i5 12400f, will the i5 13600k work on my motherboard?

    Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Yes, the Intel® Core™ i5-13600K processor is compatible with the PRIME B660M-A AC D4 motherboard and will work with it. The Intel® 600 Series and Intel® 700 Series Desktop Chipsets are scalable chipsets designed for motherboards that support the 12th Gen, 13th Gen, and the recent Intel® Core™ desktop processor (14th Gen). Intel® 600 Series and Intel® 700 Series chipset-based motherboards require a BIOS update to boot the Intel® Core™ desktop processors (13th and 14th gen). Intel® recommends updating the BIOS on systems for compatibility before updating your Intel® Core™ desktop processors.

  • Which motherboard doesn't need a BIOS update for these 13th gen Intel CPUs? I have no way of doing flashback updates at the moment.

    The new Z-790 motherboards would be able to use this without doing a BIOS update as they are already 13th Gen ready.
