Question Question about Asus ROG-STRIX-H370-F-GAMING motherboard + 9th Gen Processor Compatibility

[kevzki]

I'm planning to assemble a PC, I already found a motherboard and processor. The thing is the processor is 9th Gen and the motherboard only states it support 8th gen and didn't specify about being compatibility with 9th Gen, here's the link of the motherboard https://www.asus.com/ph/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-H370-F-GAMING/ . May I know if the two will work together ? If not, what should I do in order for them to work.

H370 requires a bios update while using an 8th gen cpu - then the 9th gen will work.
Only B365 and Z390 work out of the box with 9th gen.

Contact the seller or retailer and see if they can find out what BIOS version it has.

If you look at the compatible CPU list, you'll see the BIOS version required (or newer) for a particular CPU to work in that motherboard.
