Verify system compatibility
Verify system compatibility
Hi, I believe I understand the situation but wanted to confirm before investing. Your existing motherboard is a Gigabyte Aorus gaming 7 (z370) and your CPU is an i7 8700k. You're considering upgrading the motherboard because it lacks certain features and you don’t want to deal with RGB fusion issues. The model you’re thinking about is the Asus Maximus XI code z390. I just wanted to verify compatibility with your current CPU and ensure it still functions after an upgrade. In the future, you plan to move to a 9900k processor. Thanks for your assistance.
The Z390 chipset works with Coffee Lake and other Intel platforms currently available.
Thanks for the support. It’s tough to visit the micro center and discuss this, but I’m glad you’re here. I just didn’t feel like wasting money on unnecessary steps.
