Question wrong socket install (Intel® Core™ i9-9900K )

[eichti]

would it destroy the cpu if I install a Intel® Core™ i9-9900K on a LGA 1151 socket?

 

[Gamingserious5]

Probably yeah,. What have you done?

 

[Math Geek]

what exact motherboard are we talking about here?

 

[eichti]

but the lga 1151 socket is listed as compatible

Best Mini ITX Motherboards For Intel Core i9-9900k

Regardless of whether you're a fan of Intel or AMD, choosing a motherboard for that new processor you just got is vital. Not just that, you have to make

I have this board and its not powering up:

MAXIMUS VIII IMPACT｜Motherboards｜ASUS Global

www.asus.com

also has a LGA 1151 socket, but i9 is not supported

 

[Math Geek]

the spec sheet for that mobo lists only 6th and 7th gen compatibility.

the cpu may fit in the socket, but the mobo does not know how to use the chip.

you need one that is compatible with the cpu you have. no BIOS or any other change is going to make that board handle a 9th gen cpu.

 

[eichti]

so the chip should be ok ?

 

[Math Geek]

should be since at least the socket matched. the mobo just refused to post so no harm done since it never powered up

 

[eichti]

phew.. lucky me. thanks for info

With a hacked BIOS, this motherboard might actually boot this CPU. but it's not actually recommended...

I would not count on (nor recommend using) this method. Not worth the risk. Just use a proper motherboard.

Good luck.

 

[Math Geek]

yah it is not even worth bringing up nor trying unless you are already an expert in this area.

get a proper mobo and enjoy the new cpu. plain and simple

 

[eichti]

yeah, definitely not worth the extra ~50 bugs for a proper board. thanks though

9th gen processors require a 300 series lga1151 motherboard.
While the socket fits, the pins do not.
You should not have damaged your processor, but you should buy a z390 based motherboard.

That's what I said! I was just mentioning it to indicate that there is no chance this old motherboard could electrically damage that CPU.
Jeez, voted down because people can't be bothered to read a single sentence...

 

[mdd1963]

you are not running it on any Z170/Z270 board...(not any 100/200 series board)

Chip is ok, others have done it (installed on incomatible/ older socket 1151 boards), and not destroyed it...but, some previously spare pins (on older boards) are now utilized on newest boards....

More to it (as you now know) than merely 'what socket' is on a mainboard....

Honestly, not to nitpick, but your post did seem to imply the post was a reasonable path forward (even if not your intent). Context can certainly be an issue interpreting the written word.
