compatible?? Is my motherboard compatible with my CPU?

[Hyper_sg]

Hi all, I plan to buy a Gigabyte B365M DS3H and a i5 9400F for my new very first build to sell, I’m worried that it may not be compatible because I went to many different websites and places, and many of them either said that it’s compatible, or that it’s not compatible

 

Any help? Thanks

B360 = 8th gen (i5 8400) and 9th gen only with a bios update

B365 = B360 with that bios update installed from the factory 

It is compatible with the i5 9400 and any other 9th gen or 8th gen LGA 1151 processor

So does that’s mean that any Intel 8th or 9th gen processor that supports the socket but has a letter at the end isn’t compatible?

The F just means it has no integrated graphics. The K means it can be overclocked.

Both will work fine on B365, you can’t overclock the K processor but it’ll operate normally otherwise.

Now I know my processor and motherboard is compatible out of the box, thanks for the help!
