[SOLVED] Cpu Compatible

[noclue00]

I currently have a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 R2 with a really ancient processor and was looking to upgrade my CPU to the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. Wondering if the new CPU would be compatible with my motherboard. I would be willing to provide more information if needed. Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately no, completely different socket. You will require a new motherboard and DDR4 RAM.

No, you can't use an AM4 CPU in that motherboard. You would need new DDR4 memory, motherboard, and the CPU.

You will need a new motherboard and DDR4 ram to use a Ryzen 7 2700x.
