Hello everyone,
I am about to upgrade my PC as I have had an issue with my PC turning on or even POSTing after doing everything that I could and searching endlessly on the forums here and in other places. I even bought a new PSU (850W) to test whether this piece was broken, which happened not to be the case. So I have decided to just upgrade my setup instead of buying old parts to see which one is actually FUBAR (I suspect it is either the motherboard or CPU that has been fried)
My setup was old and only supported LGA1150 processor. For details see my current setup below.
Anyway, I am looking to upgrade my setup with
Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS PRO Motherboard - Intel Z690 - Intel LGA1700 socket - DDR5 RAM - ATX
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 16GB kit 4800MHz CL38 On-die ECC
CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K CPU
Already bought a new PSU: Corsair RM850 850W PSU (Black)
I am looking at the GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS PRO Motherboard where I have an existing cooler H110i GT hydro series and I was wondering if I would be able to install that on an LGA1700 socket with intel i7 12700K processor? I have read that a retrokit can be bought for a line of corsair coolers, but I was unable to find my specific cooler, would that mean my cooler also requires an upgrade?
My old/current setup (Build in 2015):
Motherboard: MSI Z97-G43, Socket-1150
RAM: HyperX Fury DDR3 1866MHz 16GB Black
PSU: Cooler Master G750M, 750W PSU
Cooler: Corsair H110i GT Hydro Series CPU Cooler
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Black
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Tiger OC
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K, Socket-LGA1150
