I just purchased an ASUS ROG STRIX B360-G Motherboard and also just received my Intel i5 9600K CPU. This is my first time building a PC on my own and I am aware that it is possible that my motherboard hasn't been updated to the latest BIOS right out of the box to support any 9th gen Intel CPUs - since I can't know this for sure and I don't have an 8th gen CPU to boot and update the BIOS, I was planning to just slot in my 9600K to my B360-G motherboard and run it to see if it is supported and whether or not all is good, then only will i put in my CPU cooler and everything else to finish the build - However I have no idea on how to go about this and I am looking for advices on how to do this, step by step would be very much helpful.
Just to clarify, I don't know how would I know if the motherboard is ready or so for my 9th gen CPU like i guess if i just build the whole PC, including the boot drives, then I guess as long as Windows boots up fine then everything's good and the CPU is indeed ready and supported but I was looking for just a simple diagnostic test to know if it's ready, without completing the whole PC (including boot drive and Windows etc) as it's my first time building a PC and having to build/unbuild and build it again just increases the chances of me ruining it, when as it is I'm already nervous especially for the thermal paste part lol.
I hope someone could help me out on this and I'm sorry if I'm 'that' clueless but I will try to compensate and help out as well however I can. Thanks!
