  • Buying a whole new computer can be very expensive and kinda stupid when all you really need is just to upgrade one component. Upgrading your CPU can be a very cost effective way to increase you PC's performance. A more powerful CPU can do a lot of different things for you. It can get you more frames per second in games, encode video faster, blaze through multiple tasks more efficiently or just give you a better overall computing experience. Whatever your reason for wanting to upgrade this video has the info you need to make your upgrade experience smooth and successful. If you're simply looking for a tutorial on how to change out your existing Intel CPU for a new one that's the first thing we go over in this video. If you're a first time upgrader and are looking for information about upgrading an Intel CPU like learning what motherboard you have, what chipset (H310, B360, Q370, Z390, etc.) and CPU socket it uses (LGA 1151, LGA 1200, etc.) and the CPU's it supports then stay tuned after the removal and installation tutorial where I share the information I feel is most important to know and take into consideration when upgrading your CPU. I hope this video is both enjoyable and educational and helps you have a successful upgrading adventure.

    Want to learn more about ESD (electro-static discharge)? The following videos are from one of the most well known and well respected PC Tech reviewers on CZcams, JayzTwoCents. His knowledge and experience are priceless and in these 4 videos he explains what ESD is, why we need to be aware of it and why we don't need to worry about it as much with modern computer hardware. If you're worried about shocking and destroying your computer components Jay not only tells you why you don't need to worry but shows you just how much more robust today's PC components are by doing the things the ESD fear mongers tell you not to do.

    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.

    #6%club...thanks for a great video. Knew how to buy the CPU but was a bit leery about changing it out. You made it really easy and I am less nervous know. Shouldn't be nervous since I built my computer a while ago, but was-lol. The antistatic wrist wrap bit was hilarious, lol I think I still have mine somewhere with extra cables and fans in a box somewhere. Waiting for my graphics card to come in (old one just up and died, think a power surge got it) then will change the CPU and GTX out at the same time. Thanks again for a great video, nice and clear info is much appreciated.

Thanks for making the steps clear and easy to follow.

    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?

  • @CanuckIV
    @CanuckIV Před rokem +1

    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

      @@evansdonkor5230 yes I was! I went from an I-5 2330 I believe to an I-7 3770k. My motherboard is limiting me but my new setup has been working 10x better. I went from a 12 year old desktop to about a top of the line 6 year old PC lol
