Motherboard Suggestion for Intel Core i3-9350KF

I'm looking to buy a motherboard for my new PC build with an Intel Core i3-9350KF CPU. Can you suggest some good options?

Sure! For that specific CPU, you'll want to look for motherboards with LGA 1151 socket and 300-series chipsets like Z390, Z370, H370, B365, B360, or H310. Check out this article Choosing the Best Motherboard for Intel's Core i3-9350KF for more details on which chipsets work best.

I was unaware of the "K" in the model name meaning it's an unlocked processor that supports overclocking. So a Z390 or Z370 chipset would be necessary for my CPU then?

Yes, exactly! And don't forget to make sure your motherboard has enough USB ports, M.2 slots, and PCIe expansion slots depending on your needs.

Great advice! Thanks @stellamilanese. I also want to know if there are any other factors I should consider when choosing a motherboard?

You're welcome, @Rogercarsonsmith. Apart from the chipset and compatibility, you might want to think about memory overclocking, video output port, storage options like M.2 slots and SATA ports, connectivity (USBs), audio outputs, and even the form factor of the motherboard.

That's a lot to consider! How do I make sure my motherboard supports memory overclocking? And what kind of storage options should I look for?

To support memory overclocking, you need a chipset that supports it. The Z390, Z370, and Q370 chipsets are known for this feature. As for storage, M.2 slots are the latest and fastest SSD form. Make sure your motherboard has enough of them.

Thanks for all the help everyone! I think I have a better idea now. I'll check out some options on Amazon using these guidelines. Goodbye for now!

You're welcome, @Rogercarsonsmith. Happy building!
