Coffee Lake

Hello everyone, I am having a peculiar problem with a i5 8400 Coffee Lake cpu that I recently acquired from eBay. Upon installing the CPU the system booted normally, however Windows 10 install would crash within 1 or 2 minutes with either MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION or the system would just...

I recently got this motherboard and an Intel Core i3-9100F CPU on a deal, just wanted to know if the board will work with this processor out of the box (without requiring a UEFI update...)

I bought a new motherboard, gigabyte B365M DS3H, to replace a Gigabyte H110M 2SH and stupidly only looked at the fact that it had an LGA1151 Socket. I thought that I could just drop my Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2 GHz in and everything would be fine. Of course, the PC didn't boot, the HDD light...

I'm currently planning on building my friend a streaming/gaming PC on pcpartpicker.com and I encountered an error saying "Warning!Some Intel H370 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported...

I'm running an Z370-F Gaming (BIOS: 2401) and i7-8700 (non k) with temps/volts spiking to 75°C/1.5v under load. Cooler is liquid ML240R, as per title. Seems like a high spike in volts, if nothing else. The ambient temps in all cases was ~22°C, although I fear in summer @ 40°C ambient, it will...

I'm looking into upgrading my motherboard from an H310 to something better and wanted to replace my failing SSD as well. So I figured I'd go for an Intel H10 Optane SSD since they're pretty cheap now and comparable to similar M.2 SSD's in price. However, I read that motherboard support is for...

I am building a new computer. I will get an Intel i9-9900k and plan on overclocking. The motherboard I plan on purchasing is the MSI Z390-A PRO I haven't been able to find an answer to whether or not this board is any less capable of overclocking than per say a Asus ROG Strix Z390-E. Is there...

Hello i started picking parts on PCPartPicker and while i was choosing i got this Error: Some Intel B360 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions. The parts i...

I have been wanting to buy an i5-9600K and a Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming K3 motherboard to go with it, but the issue is that it needs a certain BIOS version (F10) to support 9th gen CPU's. As i dont have a coffee lake CPU just lying around i would have to update my BIOS in another way. Would it...

My current PC consists of: GTX 1080 FTW i5-4590 8gb RAM RM550x PSU My PC is slow with some games and even in windows, but my upgrade options are limited and I've came to the conclusion I have two options 1) Buy a Haswell i7 (4770,4790,etc) ~$150 2) Go all in with a completely new platform and...
