Checking compatibility between the i5-7400 and the MSI H310M PRO-VDH PLUS board. Should there be any issues while using them together?

The H310-VDH is a motherboard with LGA 1151 v2 slots, whereas the 7400 is a CPU using LGA 1151 v1. You can adjust the BIOS settings of both the board and the processor to accommodate them, though this process isn't straightforward or advised.

It's smarter to save your funds and invest in a genuine B150/B250 board.

Would you follow the same approach as he did? Since his specifications were entirely different, it might not be the best choice.

The process remains feasible, although it's not advised. It's still technically achievable. Other guides exist that might suit better, but you're welcome to explore options closer to your requirements.
