CPU socket type?
06-25-2021 03:21 PM

What socket type does this have? When i look at HP specifications it says
- HP name: Erica5
- SSID: 87D7
- Socket type: LGA 1200
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5
To my knowledge, thats not possible to have an intel socket and an AMD CPU. Since this PC is only weeks old I guessed that AM4 would be the most likely Socket type but after trying 2 different CPU cooler/fans claiming "universal fit" & to work on both LGA 1200 and AM4 both do not fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated -
WHAT SOCKET TYPE DO I HAVE? (M01-F1046 / AMD Ryzen™ 5 4600G)
thank you

You are talking orange and apple here. No matter what, motherboard for Intel processors won't work nor physically fit AMD processors.
Full stop.
