    Motherboard CPU socket...


    I'm trying to update my CPU - I purchased the Intel Core i5 9400 LGA1151... it does not fit in the socket of my motherboard. How can I find out the socket size if I do not have the original motherboard manual or anything?

    :)

    AMD sockets?

    AM3 in a AM2 / AM2+ motherboard will give a lower hypertransport speed, i suggest you look up ur mobo's CPU support list.

    How to upgrade motherboard and CPU without reinstalling Windows 10?

    I would like to upgrade the motherboard and CPU of my computer, which runs Windows 10. However, I would prefer to avoid reinstalling the operating system. The OS is installed to an M.2 NVMe drive on an AM3+ socket motherboard, and I will be upgrading to
    an AM4 socket motherboard.

    • Is there any procedure I have to perform to prepare the computer for the new motherboard? Should I uninstall any drivers or motherboard-specific software in advance?
    • How do I ensure that my license key is accepted by the new board? I made a digital purchase of Windows 10 Pro from the Microsoft store for this computer, and want to make sure the license transfers to the new board when I upgrade.
    • Are there any caveats to the process, things I should watch out for, or possible performance issues that may be caused by old configuration files or leftover drivers?

    All help is greatly appreciated.

    Suggestions for an AM3+ socket motherboard?

    Okay, so I was looking to upgrade my motherboard. I need one with an AM3+ processor socket (I recently got a new processor for Christmas, and AMD FX 8320E) and that will support all my other components. Here are my specs:

    Processor: AMD FX 8320E (AM3+ socket, as stated before)
    Graphics Card: Radeon R7 360 v2 Sapphire Nitro 2GB
    RAM: 8 GB RAM, DDR3-1006

    Any suggestions? If you need anymore info, let me know.
