The CPU interfaces with the chipset (aka PCH, or Platform Controller Hub) via a DMI 3.0 interface that's basically the equivalent of an x4 PCIe Gen3 connection, with up to 4GB/s of bandwidth in each direction.Д«esides its mainstream CPUs, Intel's high-end desktop (HEDT) X299 platform uses socket LGA2066 and supports a different set of Core i7 and Core i9 processors. Deciding which configurations to support is up to the motherboard manufacturer. Intel's desktop 8th and 9th Gen CPUs come with 16 PCIe lanes, which can interface with either a single x16 slot, two x8 slots, or an x8 slot and two x4 slots.

If you don't care about overclocking, the H370 chipset is fine, though again don't pay extra for enthusiast memory as you won't be able to use its full potential. Only the Z390 and Z370 support overclocking, including running system RAM at higher than spec clocks, so we largely recommend the Z-series boards. Intel's current 300-series chipsets consist (in terms of decreasing features) of the Z390, Z370, H370, B360, B365, Q370, and H310. The 8th and 9th Gen CPUs work in the same boards (though not all boards can support the i9-9900K), but I don't expect Intel's future 10th Gen (or whatever comes next) CPUs to run in today's motherboards. Intel typically only supports one or two generations of CPU on its motherboards, sockets, and chipsets. LGA1151: 1,151 pins on the motherboard socket.
