Product Manuals

Q: will it work with a 10th gen i9?

A: Yes. This mobo will support all 10 and 11 gen Intel CPUs.

Q: Would a intel i5 8400 fit in this motherboard if not which ones would??

A: No, the i5-8400 is an 8th Gen Intel processor. This motherboard only works with 10th (i.e. ix-10xxx) or 11th (i.e. ix-11xxx) processors. You need something from the 300 series of motherboards like a Z370 or Z390 which you may have to find used since they were both discontinued a few years ago.

Q: Will this work with the upcoming 11th gen i9?

A: Yes it will. This motherboard has an M.2 drive slot that will only work with the 11th gen i9 CPU. The motherboard will work with a 10th gen as well, but the M.2 slot will remain inactive without the 11th gen.
