Aorus Z390 master CPU upgrade

[danygia]

Hi,

Anyone knows if it'll be possible to upgrade to 10th gen intel CPU with an Aorus Z390 motherboard ? Will these new CPU use the same LGA 1151 socket as the I9 9900K ?

If they update the BIOS of Z390 motherboard, then yes will be possible. Like Z370 with i7 9700k.

nope - nobody knows - 9th Gen. is a Tock processor. 10th Gen. mostliekly will be a Tick again which means that it is a new socket.

Like before:

Tick: 2nd Gen. - Sandy Bridge -> LGA-1155 / LGA-2011
Tock: 3rd Gen. - Ivy Bridge -> LGA-1555 / LGA-2011

Tick: 4th Gen. - Haswell -> LGA-1150
Tock: 5th Gen. Broadwell (special cases as it wasnt consumer CPU's outside of the mobile market)

Tick: 6th Gen. - Skylake -> LGA-1151
Tock: 7th Gen. - Kaby Lake -> LGA-1151

Tick: 8th Gen: Coffee Lake -> LGA-1151-v2
Tock 9th Gen. Coffee Lake Refr. -> LGA-1151-v2

--- Extreme ---

Tick: 5th Gen. - Sandy Bridge-X -> LGA-2011
Tock: 3rd Gen. - Ivy Bridge-X -> LGA-2011

Tick: 4th Gen. - Haswell-X -> LGA-2011-v3
Tock: 5th Gen. - Broadwell-X -> LGA 2011-v3

Tick: 7th Gen. Skylake-X (i7-7800X, i7-7820X, i9-7900X, i9-7920X, i9-7940X, i9-7960X, i9-7080XE) -> LGA-2066
+
7th Gen. Kaby Lake X (i5-7640X, i7-7740X) -> LGA-2066
Tock: Skylake-X-Refresh -> LGA-2066

Nobody knows what the next gen will be. What is known is that new 9th gen cpus are on the way as mobo manufacturers have listed them. Also possible are 10 core 9th gen with and without hyperthreading. There was to be a i9-9900KFC model but intel chickened out on that one.
