Motherboard and CPU compatibility

[Matt Polak]

Hello, I was thinking about buying a new CPU and was wondering if this CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116900 is compatible with a ASUS C-Z87 Motherboard

Thanks in advance, Matt

Yes if you look at the cpu socket it's 1150 you can only put it into motherboards that support that cpu socket which is 1150.

Theirs not much to it just look at the socket types compare the two numbers if they match it'll work if they don't look for a different motherboard.
