Hammer1-1 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Looking at the Asus ROG Maximum X Code LGA1151 (300 series) motherboard and an Intel Core i7 8086k. Ive been away from computers for a while and Coffee Lake has me a bit confused. Is this processor X370 compatible? And at that, is the Max X (300 series) an X370 type motherboard?

iKyrThraad993i Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The Maximus X Code is a very nice board currently use it and I must say I love it. The Maximus X 300 series is a Z370 motherboard (X370 is the AMD Side of things and will not support any Intel CPU of course) CPU wise Coffee Lake CPU tend to get warm quick I suggest a AIO or even one of the EKWB MLC Phoenix AIO which really is better then say most Closed Loop because there expandable with QDC fitting and are very easy to use.

BeastyBaiter Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The 8086k is a collectors edition 8700k, so it should work on any Z370 board. System specs: i5-10600k (4.9 GHz), RX 6950XT, 32GB DDR4 3200, NVMe SSD, Reverb G2, WinWing Super Libra/Taurus, CH Pro Pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
