Question Is this cpu compatible?

[sloan1209]

I have an I5 6600k. Is it compatible with MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PLUS? It says it’s compatible with LG1151 socket cpu which mine is. It also says 8th and 9th gen cpu. I don’t know if it’s ONLY 8th and 9th gen.

Yes it will fit....

It is not compatible. That is a 6th gen cpu and that motherboard only supports 8th & 9th.

As you will see it is not on the supported cpu list https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/MPG-Z390-GAMING-PLUS#support-cpu
