Q: So the Name says this is a Socket LGA 2066 but in the specification it states LGA 1151 socket. Which is it?

A: I just installed it on an MSI board and it is definitely an LGA 1151.

Q: Does the come with a cooler and thermal paste?

A: yes it should come with thermal paste on the cooler. Like this

Q: Will this processor be compatible with a GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard? Also does this processor need ddr4 instead of ddr3 ram?

A: NO, the GA-990FXA-UD3 mother board is an AM3 socket, you will need to look for a MB with a LGA1151 socket. And the RAM depends on the MB compatibility.

Q: How good of an upgrade is this from a core i5-6000.

A: When it comes to processors, it can be often hard to decipher the string of numbers that distinguish them. Generally, though, the higher the number, the more powerful the chips are. Core i9s are more powerful than Core i7s, which are more powerful than Core i5s. Simple enough.

Q: Will it work with a ASROCK B360M IB-R1 mom motherboard?

A: Hi Max, I suggest contacting IBuyPower as that is a OEM motherboard made for them. As it is part of the B360M family It should have the same LGA 1151 socket and 300 series chipset and work with the Intel Core i7-9700F processor. Thank you for choosing Intel

Q: I am new to Pc gaming and got a MSI z390 pro carbon ac is this compatible with that mobo?

A: It doesn't look like it will be. Something comparable, to this cpu that's compatible would be the Intel Core i7-9700K. I reccomend this site: https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/MSI-MPG-Z390-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC-MS-7B17/101504 For more compatibility questions

Q: Does this cpu have to be with a specific graphics card to be compatable?

A: No, it does not need a specific graphics card.
