For Mengxin, the corresponding relationship between the CPU and the motherboard can be accurately confirmed, and the selected board U can be used compatible, even if it successfully takes the first step of build machine . Next, a few small knowledge of popular science will help you quickly master the knowledge of purchasing CPU and motherboard.
As we all know, the relationship between board U is actually enough to look at the CPU and motherboard chipset, but for Mengxin, there are too many chipsets and CPUs, and it is very difficult to understand the correspondence relationship once and for all. , So let's start with another parameter, which is the socket type of the CPU.
CPU sockets are distinguished:
The CPU socket type is actually the physical limitation of the CPU and the motherboard. The CPU socket will only correspond to one motherboard pin. When buying a CPU, you can look at the motherboard and Whether the CPU sockets are the same to judge whether it can be used compatible, use the following core i7-11700K and a Z590 motherboard parameters as an example.
The CPU sockets of Core i7-11700K and Z590 motherboards are marked with LGA1200, which means that they are compatible with each other and the CPU can be installed on this motherboard normally. This method can avoid the embarrassing situation of AMD processor with Intel motherboard , and the computer can basically light up.
Why does it basically light up? Because there are exceptions to this, such as the same motherboard and the same CPU socket,But the motherboard is the previous generation, and the CPU is new. Although the CPU can be installed on the motherboard at this time, it may need to upgrade the BIOS before it can light up. This involves the chipset and CPU knowledge mentioned at the beginning.
chipset naming rules:
One CPU can support multiple chipsets, and one chipset can also support multiple CPUs. Knowing the chipset and CPU can make your board U match more reasonable. You can only find the compatible board U through the CPU socket, but only looking at the CPU socket will encounter the situation of low-end CPU with high-end motherboard. The chipset itself also distinguishes high-end, mid-range and entry-level. Only by knowing which ones are high-end chipsets and which are low-end can we correctly implement a good U with a good board.
Understand these CPU sockets and chipset knowledge, everyone should know why this time the 12th generation Core will be replaced by the motherboard, because the 12th generation Core has been replaced from the 10/11 generation Core LGA1200 LGA1700, the old Z590/Z490 are not compatible, you can only use the newly launched Z690 motherboard.
AMD and Intel are similar. High-end chipsets start with X, such as X570/X470/X370. The mid-range also starts with B. It is very close to Intel, but the numbers are different, such as B550/B450, etc. At the beginning of A, such as A520, A320, etc.
Intel and AMD processor naming rules should be understood, Intel Core i3 , Core i5, Core i7 , Core i9 , corresponding to the processor level from low to high, respectivelyThe same goes for AMD Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, and Ryzen 9, from low to high. Just find the one-to-one correspondence between processors and chipsets of the same level, high-end processors to high-end chipsets, and low-end to low-end processors.
Why do I need to change the motherboard for the 12th generation Core?
Intel platform remember to first correspond to the CPU socket, starting from the 10th generation Core Duo, change the socket, the 10th and 11th generation Cores use the LGA1200 socket, while the previous 8th and 9th generation Cores use the LGA1151 socket, and the LGA1151 corresponds to the chip. The group has Z390, Z390 does not support the 10th and 11th generation Core processors, and can only use the eight or nine generations of cool. This is why I will start with the CPU socket this time. AMD processors currently do not have this problem. The first generation Ryzen to Ryzen 5000 only use AM4 sockets, which are compatible with each other.
Understand these CPU sockets and chipset knowledge, everyone should know why the 12th generation Core will be replaced by the motherboard this time, because the 12th generation Core has been replaced from the 10/11 generation Core LGA1200 to the LGA1700, the old Z590 /Z490 is not compatible, you can only use the newly launched Z690 motherboard.
490 is not compatible, you can only use the new Z690 motherboard.
