    Glad to see a proper explanation when doing a CPU upgrade. I've seen so many that overlook the motherboard sockets. Specially since Intel did what they did with LGA1151. Just as AMD AM4 socket depending on generation only supports certain gen Ryzen CPUs as well.

      If you have an LGA 1150, does that mean all CPU'S that fits in the 1150 will work?

    • @acidstorm001
      @acidstorm001 5 месяцев назад +1

      @@NathanielSolomons Depends on the board and the BIOS. Sometimes support for CPUs needs a BIOS update, but should fit most other LGA 1150 processors. Just have to check the motherboard specs to see which CPUs are supported.

    #6%club...thanks for a great video. Knew how to buy the CPU but was a bit leery about changing it out. You made it really easy and I am less nervous know. Shouldn't be nervous since I built my computer a while ago, but was-lol. The antistatic wrist wrap bit was hilarious, lol I think I still have mine somewhere with extra cables and fans in a box somewhere. Waiting for my graphics card to come in (old one just up and died, think a power surge got it) then will change the CPU and GTX out at the same time. Thanks again for a great video, nice and clear info is much appreciated.

    I have a Dell G5. Thanks to your video I was able to determine the best CPU to buy for my specific motherboard. I currently have a i5-10400F and wanted to upgrade to some sort of i9. I used the command prompt as instructed, used the number to google it and I can only upgrade to 1 type of i9 which for someone like myself that isn't overly tech-savvy I am not overly picky as long as it gets the job done for a few years to come so It ended being a i9-10900KF. It's reasonably cheap at over $500 with taxes. Looks like I made my decision thanks again to your video

    Excellent video. Looking to upgrade from my i5-7600K. Was curious to see that no 8th or 9th gen options were compatible (using the CPU-upgrade website), but your bit on motherboards explained that as I have a Z270-P so would have to upgrade to a "300" number for 8th/9th gen options. Now I'm wondering if I should go upgrade the motherboard as well as the processor or just go with a i7-7700 or i7-7700K processor upgrade. Any thoughts?

    I did laugh because I've had a static wristband for 20 years, lost it and just replaced it with the exact one you showed. Thanks for this, the actual replacement sounds easy...figuring out which is compatible not so much.

    Thank you very much, you saved me from doing a costly mistake. I almost bought a i9-9900K without knowing I need a 300 series motherboard. Thanks! #6%CLUB

    My CPU is a 7th-generation Intel Core i3-7100 CPU. I have an HP Pavilion Desktop 570-p010. So I can get an i7-7700k. Please help?
