So I recently purchased an i7 9700k with the original idea that it would be compatible with my motherboard, as they have the same socket, but when I tried installing it my computer failed to boot and upon further research, it seems that it is not compatible. I would like to know where to go from here to upgrade my computer, as I don't want to return the CPU but rather upgrade my motherboard. I would also like to confirm that my motherboard is not compatible with my CPU.
Here are my specs:
Current CPU: Intel Core i5 7400 @ 3.00GHZ
Planned Upgrade CPU: Intel Core i7 9700k @ 3.6GHZ
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Motherboard: HP 82F1
RAM: Dual DDR4 16GB 2133 MHz (2x8)
Also, side note, I have an old 750 Ti in a computer that isn't in use anymore. If I upgrade motherboards, would a dual GPU configuration with my current GPU and this GPU be possible/worth it?
