Question processor change

[eland11]

hi ya'll,

i'm having a little question here. at this moment i have a intel i5-2400 with a LGA1155 socket with 8 GB ram and a AMD RX570. now i know that an i5-2400 can't run the gpu on it's maximum. now i saw the i3-9100F with a FCLGA1151-2 socket . now my question is: will the i3 fit on the same motherboard?
this might be a dumb question but i don't really have much experience with building a pc since i had mine customly build.

I must admit I haven't researched it but I'm sure they wouldn't be compatible. Sorry to say.

No, sorry to say you will have to buy a new motherboard.

Your other hardware will probably still be compatible though. You can post up how much you can spend and what components you already have and someone will help you find something I'm sure.

You should replace the motherboard...Sorry to say

report button doesn't equal reply, it doesn't do the same thing. Just thought I let you know.

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

Yes bro, you can do it

No bro, they can't.

No bro, they can't.

I said the same thing when deleting his post—before I saw your reply 🙂

i just get at google, and make reasearch, the socket not same, and cannot be fit.

Depending on the specific processor models, the socket (where the processor fits on the motherboard) may not fit both an i3 and an i5. The motherboard may not be compatible. Even if the sockets match, there is a good chance that the motherboard will not be compatible with the processor.
