This video has really broadened my horizons on upgrading CPU for my mainboard... z370-a pro (msi) my motherboard supports overclocking and 8th/9th generation CPU processors. 😁😁😁
Hello, I have a Star Wars, hp laptop. The cpu got fried. I want to replace the cpu & upgrade the rams from 8 to 16. Can you please film a vid on this topic. All the best Shaun of NYC
Thank you for the wonderful explanation. I am upgrading from i5 9th gen to a i7 13th gen with an upgraded mobo. I will be using this video to help me upgrade! Wish me luck!
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.
@@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.
Hey listen, out of everyone gaming pc tech, channel I grow the most and get the most knowledge from watching your video’s there so helpful you don’t play games and are straight to the point and explain things right THANK YOU FIR EVERYTHING
I value and respect your content. It was super informational and very helpful. I was so confused about motherboards and couldn't figure what's the difference among H-B-Q-Z Series. Sir! Thank you so much. #6%club all the way.
Doing my first build. Recently put my 4080 in my current pc, decided I'd do a completly new build. So i got a Z790 ROG Maximus Hero and i9 13900k, putting in a corsair 5000d airflow. Love watching videos like this lately. Looking forward to seeing the improvement from my b360m-a with i7 9700k.
#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.
Super helpful! I have a 1150 motherboard and an i5-4960k cpu... and I do heavy rendering of visual effects, motion graphics, and unreal engine work. It's time for an upgrade. I still need to figure out if an i7 is enough or if I need an i9, though.
good video i actually felt like i understood what was being said unlike other videos. thanks for the help, replacing my cpu today so i needed a refresher since its been a long long time since ive dealt with anything relating to computer hardware.
thanks man it was exactly what i needed, i searched for the compatability of my motherboard found a cpu and everything, but was unsure about every information, you confermed all of them and encouraged me to go for the upgrade, can't guarantee i will not fuck this up but you put me on a good road to success.
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?
This may have been added to your comments already, but a great app you can use to ID your motherboard is CPU-Z, and it is free! I'm using an H170 series Core i5 6400T and want to upgrade to a Core i7. Still working out the kinks, but this video has helped me get closer! Thanks!
6% club :) quick question how do i know whether a new cpu will need a bios update Edit: I installed new cpu and on a updated bios, thank you for the video
Thank you for this video! My 14 year old son was able to change out his i5 for an i7 for the first time. I supervised on a video call as he did the actual work.
I just bought a Intel Core i7-12700K. What motherboard would you recommend for me to buy if i want it to overclock? my budget is $250 and I'm building a white system so anything white or silver would be even better to fit the color scheme I'm doing. Thank you for your channel, I've learned so much that I'm already on my second build :D
The last comment nailed it ... Dude! You seem so familiar ... Makes you a natural. Figure out your hands tho... Maybe wider view so your hand movements don't seem rehearsed. Otherwise (hard to get actual constructive criticism) your videos gave me what I needed, didn't lose topic and didn't seem to leave anything out. I kinda want to work for or with you I'm so impressed. Thankyou
I need help I have a cyber power gamer xtreme I’m upgrading to 16 gb of ram I have a as rock b360m xtreme with 9th gene my power supply is unknown but read it’s around 800 wat I’d like to upgrade to a i7 9th gen I need some help could you help me out maybe I hope you see this please respond
This was an amazing video. Thank you. Got a gen 2 intel over here holding on for dear life pushing it to the limit before I scrap the whole thing in 2023
@@evansdonkor5230 yes I was! I went from an I-5 2330 I believe to an I-7 3770k. My motherboard is limiting me but my new setup has been working 10x better. I went from a 12 year old desktop to about a top of the line 6 year old PC lol
Thanks for the info! I built the PC I’m working on but it’s always nice to have a refresher. I’m going from an i5 to an i9 and maxing out my motherboard’s potential. I also just purchased an RTX 3080 ti. I’m excited for the boost this will give to my VR rig. I’m hoping this PC will last me another decade before I need to replace the motherboard. 🤞🏻

Hey man, Hope you doing well. I have an "hp all-in-one pc 22-b405d aio desktop" with a "81bb hp" motherboard and a "Pentium" inside (4 cores). Question: What CPUs will work for my PC?
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.
as far as ik im on a i3 and i do want to upgrade it because my pc isnt up to date so i need to know what to buy for it and this video helped me alot thank you
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
