Hi there,
Put an order on local Memory Express, but got a call a while ago, I was told both Asus/Gigabyte Z390 MBs don't support i5-9600K, and many returns due to that. They suggested to replace with MSI MB.
I really don't get the point, and I found the supported CPU on ASUS, which indicates that chip is supported since bios 1003.
Now I have two questions.
1. Is that really an issue to buy these combo as of today? Maybe I just need to upgrade the BIOS to latest 1502?
2. The MSI Z390 is not in our Buyer's guide. Could I use it? And should I expect many tiny glitches if so?
Thanks for reading!
