Question Cpu upgrade

[Imtiaz115]

I am currently using i3 7100 (FCLGA1151) i want to upgrade my cpu to i5 9400f. Can i do it??

not without getting a new motherbord. max CPU you can get is an i7 7700K

Your i3 is 7th generation. Motherboards that support 6th & 7th generation do not support 8th & 9th generation and vice versa. It doesn’t matter that they use the same socket.
