MERGED QUESTION Question from ragemaster : "Will my GIGABYTE GA-B250M-D2V Motherboard support intel i5 8400 processor"
ragemaster :
i5 8400 uses LA1151 CPU socket and Gigabyte B250M supports LA1151 CPU socket but I am not sure will it support 8th Gen processor.
volkgren :
No, the 200 series motherboards will not support the 8th-gen Intel CPUs. Only the 300 series motherboards support 8th-gen as of right now. 200 series motherboards support 6th and 7th-gen Intel CPUs.
