Pcpartpicker says it's compatible at least so I'm guessing it should be fine.

You'd probably need to update the bios to install a 9th gen processor like the 9700k in a z370 board not the other way around.

So the i7 8700k should work out of the Box in a z390 mobile?

You meant mobo not mobile right?

 

It should. You can plug in your specific parts in pcpartpicker by part number to be sure if you want.

So this would all work by pcpartpicker as said because idk why it says unable to verify if the CPU cooler and case are not compatible though but i'm thinking its fin its just one of pcpartpickers falts

I think you’re okay. I guess there’s a chance that the cpu cooler is too tall, but it looks okay to me.
