HELP! My Intel core I7 5820k doesnt fit in the MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition?

[SMaxTH]

I recently bought a whole new gaming rig, but the processor doesnt fit in the mother board. I dont want to try it with force because they bost cost quite a bit... Aren't they compatible or am I doing something wrong?

You need a X99 motherboard, not a Z97.

 

So...uh...RIP?

[Godlygamer23]

The sockets are incompatible with each other. 5820K uses LGA2011v3, while Z97 uses LGA1150.

The sockets are incompatible with each other.

I cant believe it.... All the waiting time for nothing

[The Official Czex]

You need X99, not Z97. Completely different sockets.

Next time, use PCPartPicker for compatibility checking.

Maybe you should have ordered the right parts???

You didn't try double checking to make sure they were the right socket? Return the cpu or mobo and get a different one.

At least he went with a 5820K instead of a 6700K. Smarter decision.

they use two entirely different sockets . You need an x99 (lga 2011v3) board with ddr4 ram .

[KirbyTech]

It only fits in the LGA 2011 V3 socket not the LGA 1150 socket. Sorry to break it to you but you will have to return your z97 board and but a x99 one.

LGA 1150

If you bought everything as a bundle(I hope not), call and complain. If you bought everything individually, you may need to pay some sort of restocking fee when you return one of the respective parts.

LGA 1150

Damn it. Fixed.

5820k is a different platform.

 

X99. not Z97.

[The Official Czex]

We all make mistakes. I admire your audacity to build your own system even without proper research.

[Elapo]

Next time, use PCPartPicker for compatibility checking.

 

This, even if you think you know what you're doing.

 

Check your shit, add it to the cart, check it again, order it, read the order mail and check it again.

I'd love to see you try with a lga2011v3 into a 1150 socket like op's

if you would have only followed the countless builds people planned for you in your last thread...

[harrynowl]

._. lol

 

Yeah you'll probably need to pay a 20% restocking fee on the board, 

[Gofspar]

wtf, did you do no research, sell the 5820k and get a 4790k.

No, op can return the board and get a x99 board.
