can i upgrade the i5 cpu to an i9? null

As long as it’s a LGA 1700 compatible and you’re gonna need a more powerful cpu cooler with big heat sinks or an AIO, plus make sure it’s not above the 12th generation because the CPU can get fried due to an error Intel made so update BIOS to latest one, If you’re gonna use a CPU for gaming I recommend an AMD one as more cores doesn’t really do anything when you need cores that are fastest.

Hello Michael - the motherboard included in this desktop does support Intel i9 CPUs between the 12th and 14th gen.
