I purchased the MSI B365M Pro-VDH motherboard to enhance my mainboard, though I noticed potential issues. I’m wondering if my Intel Core i5 6400 fits this setup.

Only works with 8th and 9th generation processors, even though it uses the same socket as 6th and 7th generation models due to Intel.

For reference, 300-series chipsets such as B365, Z370, Z390 work with 8th and 9th generation Intel CPUs, while 100 and 200 series chipsets like H170, B250, Z170 are compatible only with 6th and 7th generation Intel CPUs.
