Gigabyte Z370M D3H for i5 8500

[Hiten Das]

Can i use Gigabyte Z370M D3H with i5 8500?

Will they work fine?

Can i enable Multi Core Enhancement on that board?

i will use 1060/2060 gpu.

I want a board which will last long without any problem and also fit in budget.

I am asking everything like a stupid, because i don't have much knowledge about these.

 

please help me.

Thank You.

I'd grab the 8600K if you're looking for something faster than a 8400. You can properly OC it too. Also, I'm pretty sure MCE is an Asus feature, so you'd need an Asus board.

Even if going with a locked i5, you'd need a better cooler for MCE (and an unlocked CPU)

Can you use it? Yes!

Can you enable MCE? No!

 

Board's fine but you're probably better off with a cheaper b360 one instead if you're going with the i5 8400, I only recommed this board if you want the i7 8700 to use it's FLEX override to lock it at 4.4ghz like I did and overclock memory to the 3200mhz ish.

 

Faster memory on the i5 8400 makes less difference so all in all you're spending more on the motherboard than you need to extract your CPU of choice full potential, a b360 with 2666mhz memory would do the trick.

You're wrong there, MCE is a feature every motherboard features because this is a CHIPSET feature, from Intel's z370, the only difference that may lead people to this misunderstanding is that Asus is the only one that ships their boards with MCE enable by default while the others leave it disable, though it's really just a matter of switching it at the BIOS.

 

Worth noting though that MCE only works for unlocked CPUs.

Thanks for the heads up!

You'd be getting into unofficial ground, then the sky is the limit if you have enough patience.
