Q: QuestionIs it a LGA1151 socket?
Asked by Rawsteel.
- A:Answer My Answer: Yes, this processor fits the LGA 1151 socket, the motherboard I paired it with is the MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon LGA 1151 (300 series), which has the LGA 1151 socket. If you have some of the older LGA 1151 Motherboards, you'll have to do a BIOS/Firmware update to make it compatible with this processor (or so I've read on the internet). I went for the Z390 chipset, which works with this processor. My IT professional answer: However the best way to know for sure if your motherboard is compatible is to call the motherboard manufacturer and ask them =D

Q: QuestionCan anybody confirm if my ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS motherboard will support this processor?
Asked by IvancbLZ69.
- A:Answer After checking it out online the answer is "Supposedly" Yes... If... You upgrade the Bios Twice!!! Once to a newer version and then a second time to the latest 300 series Bios I Must Warn You... Updating a Bios is Dangerous! If not done correctly and fails... You Motherboard would be No Good Anymore! Proceed at your own risk! However according to the Asus Support website... If you do this it will accept the newer Processor... Good Luck! Rick.

Q: QuestionDoes this come with a cooler if not, what cooler would you recommend?
Asked by Noob2this.
- A:Answer No it doesn’t come with a cpu cooler. Personally I recommend the ICUE H100I ELIETE from Corsair but any brand 240 water cooler will work perfect!

Q: QuestionWill this work out of the box meaning that I can just put it into the motherboard add thermal paste and put my cooler on top of it and it will boot into windows 10?
Asked by Danvxy.
- A:Answer Yes and no. You can just take it out of the box and it will work... but you will still have to wait for the bios to download for the processor. Also, It won't just jump into windows ten if the computer does not have windows ten installed on the hard drive already. The processor has nothing to do with having windows ten or not the hard drive and Microsoft accounts due. All the processor does is run what is in the hard drive, it doesn't have anything extra except its bios. What that means is that if your hard drive already has windows ten on it, then adding the processor will allow you to use it within a few minutes but if your hard drive lacks windows ten it will work, you just will be prompted to log in to Microsoft account.
