fclga 1151 socket

[wilfredsteane14]

Hey guy, I have found a cpu with an fclga1151 cpu (intel i5 8400), and have a motherboard with a lga 1151 socket (GA-B250M-DS3H). Will the CPU fit in the motherboard?

it wont work. the 8400 has to have a 300 series board, you have a 200 series board.

300 series
B360
H310
H370
Z370

200 series
B250
H270

FCLGA and LGA are the same thing. I checked that boards supported CPU list and the i5-8400 is not listed: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-B250M-DS3H-rev-10#support-cpu

The i5-8400 was code named Coffee Lake and none of those processors are listed so I am not sure if it would work or not. Perhaps another person can answer for sure. I wouldn't try it unless I got confirmation.

Fit yes, but will not work. the 8th Gen cpus need a 300 series chipset.
