I remember there being some hickups between LGA1151 motherboards a few years back and want to make sure that an upgrade from the G5400 to 9700(k) is compatible. I know overclocking is out of the question on the B360, but am unsure about overall compatibility.

The generations for CPU support were split between 6th/7th gen and 8th/9th gen. B150 and B250 are for 6/7, B360 and B365 are for 8/9.

 

Update your BIOS and you're good to upgrade.

We basically want to upgrade this. I remember there being some hickups between LGA1151 motherboards a few years back and want to make sure that an upgrade from the G5400 to 9700(k) is compatible. I know overclocking is out of the question on the B360, but am unsure about overall compatibility.

 

Thanks!

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Excellent! Do you think the BIOS upgrade is a necessity? It's a christmas present.

You'll have to check the BIOS version, which is easy to do.

 

B360 motherboards were manufactured before 9th gen CPUs were released so the majority of them shipped without a compatible BIOS for 9th gen CPUs. It's very likely that you need to update.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
