[SOLVED] ASUS Z370-F Cant Boot.

[JuliMan]

Hello. Yesterday i felt like my pc needed an upgrade so i bought a asus gtx 2080 OC Dual and switched it with my old 980 Ti 6gb. Everything worked, but i werent getting the fps upgrade i hoped for. That was because my motherboard was very outdated so i switched it to a Asus z370-f, and i checked sockets etc. and everything seemed fine. Though after connecting wires and ram it doesnt work. When i boot everything turns on. LED, Fans and lights, but the screen wont turn on and my mouse and keyboard doesnt light up in many LEDs. I must have plugged something in wrong.
my setup is:
i7 6700k skylake CPU
Asus z370-f MB
asus gtx 2080 OC Dual GPU
850W powersupply.

Anyone have any idea?

is your monitor plugged in to your gpu

300-series motherboards don't work with Skylake or Kaby Lake CPUs. This combination will never work.

Yes, i also tried plugging into the motherboard but didnt make a change. The USBs etc doesnt work either.

Thanks for the quick reply. Does this mean i can only buy i7/i5 -8xxx CPUs because it says it support the 8th generations.. - or could i buy an i9 instead

And last question, is the motherboard damaged, now that ive tried booting it with a wrong cpu

Correct, only 8000 CPUs can be used. 9000 as well, but that frequently needs a BIOS update before use.

Shouldn't have caused damage.

Thanks a lot. Just bought the following:
INTEL CORE I7 8700 / 3.2 GHZ COFFEE LAKE

I am replacing it with the old cpu just as we speak.

the motherbord shouldn't be damaged since it is really the same socket physically

you can run both 8th and 9th gen CPU's but depending on what version of the BIOS is on the board 9th gen may not work until that is updated so you would need a 8th gen in the end if that happens just to get the motherboard to boot to update it to get 9th gen CPU support
