Glad to see a proper explanation when doing a CPU upgrade. I've seen so many that overlook the motherboard sockets. Specially since Intel did what they did with LGA1151. Just as AMD AM4 socket depending on generation only supports certain gen Ryzen CPUs as well.

I have a Dell G5. Thanks to your video I was able to determine the best CPU to buy for my specific motherboard. I currently have a i5-10400F and wanted to upgrade to some sort of i9. I used the command prompt as instructed, used the number to google it and I can only upgrade to 1 type of i9 which for someone like myself that isn't overly tech-savvy I am not overly picky as long as it gets the job done for a few years to come so It ended being a i9-10900KF. It's reasonably cheap at over $500 with taxes. Looks like I made my decision thanks again to your video

Excellent video. Looking to upgrade from my i5-7600K. Was curious to see that no 8th or 9th gen options were compatible (using the CPU-upgrade website), but your bit on motherboards explained that as I have a Z270-P so would have to upgrade to a "300" number for 8th/9th gen options. Now I'm wondering if I should go upgrade the motherboard as well as the processor or just go with a i7-7700 or i7-7700K processor upgrade. Any thoughts?

So, this was quite a few years ago that I got an Omen pc. At the time we were going to build a pc from scratch, (my brother was, he knows more about this than I do but has since moved), and we had ordered all of the parts, only to find out that the order was canceled over the weekend because of a credit card error. So we set about re ordering everything only to find out that the graphics cards had gone up to $350, where as they had just been $150, I think. So we shopped around and got an Omen, as it was going to be cheaper than building at that point. Anyway, I'm very late to the game now, but seeing as the issues with computer chips, graphics cards are going to continue on for the foreseeable future, I thought I better figure out what my pc needs/and can use, get it and upgrade what I can now, to save some time/money down the road. I've mostly used it for things like GW2, lol, the Witcher 3 and so on, and haven't had any issues yet, but I figure it can't hurt to learn these things myself. Although I don't think I need to upgrade the cpu, I think I could upgrade the ram (it has 2 slots for it). omen desktop pc 870-2XX Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz 8 GB Ram 1Rx8 PC4-2666V-UA2-11 MTABATF1G64AZ-2G6H1

Thank you so much! I couldn't find a video that shows removal of a CPU cooling fan from a CPU, and I'd never even worked with thermal paste until I built my own PC a few months ago. I've decided that the cooling fan I have isn't enough for my future needs, but wasn't sure, "Er, how do I remove the cooling fan without damaging the CPU?" I went looking for a "upgrade CPU cooling fan" but the closest I found was an AMD based video. That one's probably good enough, but I figured, "I just want to learn to do this right, the first time." Anyway, thanks for showing me that the thermal paste doesn't act as some sort of weird superglue or whatever! I just really wasn't sure.
