[SOLVED] Motherboard for i7 9700 (non k)

[txoni]

Hi. I have M32CD4-K motherboard and in CPU-Z it says I have 1151 LGA socket. i7 9700 needs 1151 LGA so I'm guessing it should be fine? If it isn't, which motherboard can you recommend? I tried looking for motherboards but I'm a noob and don't understand what is good and what is not for that CPU.
On my last thread people said i7 9700 doesn't fit on my motherboard but I didn't understand why. Can someone explain?
Thank you.

Welcome to the forums my friend!

Not how it works unfortunately. See point 2 here as I created a guide that covered a bit of this! https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...when-selecting-parts-for-a-custom-pc.3510178/

That guide will explain.

Whats your budget for motherboard?

Unfortunately the socket is not the only thing that dictates compatibility, in fact realistically, the socket is more useful for identifying if the CPU COOLER is compatible. The actual chipset and firmware needs to be compatible with the CPU too.
