How to match the CPU of the computer motherboard,. 5

CPU is two categories of Intel and AMD, with it depends on how much money you spend to match, for example, G41 Intel chipset is generally matched with E3400 or E5200 or so CPU, the so-called low-end board with low-end CPU, with high CPU performance can not be played, spend more than 2,000 to buy an i7 CPU with a motherboard of five or six hundred yuan is not good, right, the power of an airplane is not fast on the bicycle, and the brakes can't keep up! Moreover, if you want to match the graphics card, it is the same, a good graphics card must have a good motherboard, a good power supply, a good CPU, so that the sub-performance can come out, if you spend money to buy a motherboard with more than 400 with a graphics card of more than 800, it is not good, although it can be used, but the performance will not go up. Normally, you can buy a motherboard with almost the same *** graphics card, and that's it.

Introduction: Most novice installers have certain doubts about the motherboard, such as whether the CPU should be selected according to the motherboard? How to match a computer CPU with a motherboard? This time, I will introduce it to you here, let's take a look.

Do CPUs have to be chosen according to the motherboard?

Since the CPU is installed on the motherboard, the CPU interface must be the same as that of the motherboard before it can be installed, which is also the CPU motherboard compatibility problem. Therefore, the CPU needs to be selected according to the motherboard, and the two must ensure that the interface is consistent, that is, compatible, which is the basic principle of CPU motherboard collocation.

At present, CPU brands are mainly divided into two camps: Intel and AMD, first of all, Intel and AMD processors correspond to different motherboards, which are incompatible with each other. If you buy an Intel CPU and choose an AMD motherboard, it will be a joke because you can't use it at all, the interface is different, and you can't install the CPU. Similarly, AMD's CPUs cannot be used with Intel motherboards.

In addition, even Intel and AMD processors, their own CPUs of different generations, often due to changes in interfaces, lead to different generations of CPUs of the same brand, and the motherboards are also different. For DIY beginner users, first of all, you need to know that the CPU and the motherboard must be compatible, and the interface must be the same.

How to match a computer CPU with a motherboard?

First of all, take Intel Core i3 7100 as an example, friends who pay attention to DIY hardware should know that it is Intel's seventh-generation Core CPU, which is suitable for Intel's 200 series motherboards, and 200 series motherboards, mainly B250, H270, Z270 and other models. That is to say, i3 7100 can be compatible with B250, H270, Z270 three types of motherboards, given that i3 is positioned as a mid-range mainstream, the best balance with mainstream B250 motherboards.

In the future, AMD Ryzen 5 1400 future, friends who pay attention to computer hardware know that it is a new Ryzen 5 series mid-range processor launched by AMD this year, which is suitable for AMD's 300 series motherboards, and 300 series motherboards mainly have X370, B350, A320 three models to choose from, that is, R5 1400 with X370 B350 A320 motherboards are compatible, and there is no problem in use, but from a balance point of view, mid-range R5 The 1400 is the best match for the mainstream B350 motherboard.

It is worth mentioning that Intel's 200 series and AMD 300 series each contain different models, how to choose this? In fact, the high, medium and low-end motherboards that are liked basically only exist in terms of function and overclocking support, how to choose, mainly depends on the CPU grade, whether it supports overclocking, and then choose the high, medium and low motherboards.
