    Glad to see a proper explanation when doing a CPU upgrade. I've seen so many that overlook the motherboard sockets. Specially since Intel did what they did with LGA1151. Just as AMD AM4 socket depending on generation only supports certain gen Ryzen CPUs as well.

      @acidstorm001 6 місяців тому +1

      @@NathanielSolomons Depends on the board and the BIOS. Sometimes support for CPUs needs a BIOS update, but should fit most other LGA 1150 processors. Just have to check the motherboard specs to see which CPUs are supported.

    #6%club...thanks for a great video. Knew how to buy the CPU but was a bit leery about changing it out. You made it really easy and I am less nervous know. Shouldn't be nervous since I built my computer a while ago, but was-lol. The antistatic wrist wrap bit was hilarious, lol I think I still have mine somewhere with extra cables and fans in a box somewhere. Waiting for my graphics card to come in (old one just up and died, think a power surge got it) then will change the CPU and GTX out at the same time.

    I have a Dell G5. Thanks to your video I was able to determine the best CPU to buy for my specific motherboard. I currently have a i5-10400F and wanted to upgrade to some sort of i9. I used the command prompt as instructed, used the number to google it and I can only upgrade to 1 type of i9 which for someone like myself that isn't overly tech-savvy I am not overly picky as long as it gets the job done for a few years to come so It ended being a i9-10900KF. It's reasonably cheap at over $500 with taxes. Looks like I made my decision thanks again to your video

    Excellent video. Looking to upgrade from my i5-7600K. Was curious to see that no 8th or 9th gen options were compatible (using the CPU-upgrade website), but your bit on motherboards explained that as I have a Z270-P so would have to upgrade to a "300" number for 8th/9th gen options. Now I'm wondering if I should go upgrade the motherboard as well as the processor or just go with a i7-7700 or i7-7700K processor upgrade. Any thoughts?

    Thank you so much! I couldn't find a video that shows removal of a CPU cooling fan from a CPU, and I'd never even worked with thermal paste until I built my own PC a few months ago. I've decided that the cooling fan I have isn't enough for my future needs, but wasn't sure, "Er, how do I remove the cooling fan without damaging the CPU?" I went looking for a "upgrade CPU cooling fan" but the closest I found was an AMD based video. That one's probably good enough, but I figured, "I just want to learn to do this right, the first time." Anyway, thanks for showing me that the thermal paste doesn't act as some sort of weird superglue or whatever! I just really wasn't sure.

    Thank you, I just learned I have a low-end PC and I need to upgrade basically everything. I'm running an (Intel Core i3 4130 Haswell socket 1150 LGA) I don't have a lot of cash but I do want to upgrade, I'm a gamer, and some of the games I play just not working up to par. Looks like i'll have to upgrade my motherboard with everything else to get the PC I want to run the games I play and run smoothly. Got my Sub 100% I just learned a lot for this vid. Now I know where to go for more PC info...

    I've been upgrading my Aurora R8 I got in 2018 recently. I've upgraded the RAM to 32GB a couple months ago, and I'm planning to upgrade the stock i5 9600k to an i9 9900kf which, as far as I can tell, is the highest performing Intel CPU with the same socket type. I chose the kf variant since the integrated graphics of the k variant is superfluous when I have a GeForce RTX 2070, and its so much cheaper than the k variant. Thanks for the vid man, major component replacement really is plug and play with these modern desktops huh? Lol
