Check if the CPU matches the system requirements.
Im looking to put a better cpu in by HP prebuilt. Its a hp 843b motherboard (h370) with an lga1151 slot. Currently theres a intel 8100 in it and im bidding on an intel 9350kf on ebay to put in it. Theres 3 things i want to know: if the stock cooler for the 8100 will be enough for the 9350kf, if there will be any wierd bios or software compatibility issues, and if the powersupply will be good enough. The power supply is a 180 watt (80+gold) hp stock one. Its kind of hard to tell how much its drawing because i have a 1650 in there, but i have an external psu for that gpu, so idk if the gpu is taking power from the 180w psu through the motherboard or the other one. But hopefully a cpu increase of 65w to 90w will be fine. im using this system for gaming
HP doesn't show the CPU in their supported list, which could mean it's not included in the BIOS or they might exclude it. More likely, the issue is power consumption—most supported chips max out at 65W, while the 9350kf draws 91W. This suggests the cooler and VRMs might not handle it properly.
This makes sense. Perhaps a 9100f with the same 65W TDP will function properly.
