[SOLVED] does an i9 need a 300 series mb?

[johnD789]

neither i99900k or its box, nor my motherboard or its box, say they are 300 series.
whats up with 300 series? Even google seems confused about it.

Depends what you search for. Best or recommended motherboard for an 9900k would give you results.

Anyway, i recommend a z390, for overclocking and also running faster ram of 3000+. Models below 90 (B365 as an exception) on 300 series boards most likely need a bios update to be compatible.

List of 300 series chipsets. See compatible products.
