The MSI Z170 Krait Gaming does not support the 9900k CPU, it only supports up to a i7 7700, you will need a newer model LGA1151 socket motherboard to use it. That CPU can only be used with a Z370 board that has had the bios updated, or a Z390 board. Socket is the same but implementation, pinout and chipset are different.

Please try again later.Hi PAVEL99, unfortunately your MSI Z170 KRAIT gaming motherboard is not compatible with the Intel Core i7-9700K processor due to having an older chipset that is not compatible. You will need a motherboard with LGA1151 socket and 300 series chipset. Best Buy does carry motherboards that are compatible with the Intel Core i7-9700K processor which you can check out here https://www.bestbuy.com/site/computer-cards-components/motherboards/abcat0507008.c?id=abcat0507008&qp=processorsocketsv_facet%3DProcessor%20Socket~Socket%20LGA%201151 Thank you for choosing Intel.
