Hello,
I want to upgrade my cpu and i consider i7-9700KF but i dont know if it will work.
it seems to be the same socket and a compatible chipset, but it's not on the page of the motherboard in the compatible cpu upgrade section.
do you think i7-9700KF will work on my motherboard ?
If it's the case, should i upgrade my bios ? (my version is currently on 1.0 )
Thank you for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

apart from the unavailability of the graphics chip, I do not see
but I could not certify that it will work
For one or the other of the versions the update of the bios could be necessary

you have the k version here
It could work
the f version being without integrated graphics chip, I advise you rather the K ..
in case of graphics card problem, this can help
No guarantee that the KF works
whether for version K or kf, updating the bios may be necessary
