[SOLVED] would a 9th gen cpu be damage if u put it in a 10th gen mobo?

[CadeV]

i wasnt thinking and bought a 10th gen mbo for my 9th gen cpu and put the cpu in . I was wonder if this would cause any damage to the cpu?

Well, you'd likely damage the motherboard rather than the CPU. The sockets aren't the same. Even if you lived to be a thousand, you'd never get this to work, so there's no purpose to trying, even if you knew there would be no damage.

Or you don't actually have a 10th-generation motherboard (LGA 1200) or you don't actually have a 9th-generation CPU (LGA 1151). Conveying information that is both detailed and accurate is extremely important for asking technical questions!

I'd suspect both would survive, but, alas you will not know for sure until using a correct known good 9th gen mainboard (in the case of determining your if your CPU is fine), and/or a 10th gen CPU in the case of the 10th gen mainboard...
