Know 3 motherboard manufacturers - answersASRock, ASUS, BIOSTAR, EVGA,
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd., Intel Corporation, Micro-Star International (MSI)
Intel Chipsets - answersCoffee Lake - 8th generation began shipping at the end of
2017. it uses a revised LGA1151 socket and 300 series chipset. It is not backwards
compatible with the 7th or 6th generations that used the first version of LGA1151
socket.
Kaby Lake- The 7th Generation desktop processor and chipset began shipping in 2016
and mobile processors were launched in 2017. Desktop Processors use the first version
of the LGA 1151.
Sky Lake- the 6th generation processor and chipset was launched in 2015. The
processors were the first to use the LGA 1151 socket. Used DDR4 memory and able to
use the older slower DDR3 memory only if it was low-voltage DDR3.
Broadwell and Haswell - the 5th(Broadwell) and 4th(Haswell) processors work with
older LGA1150 and LGA2011 processor sockets.
AMD Chipsets - answersTR4 (Threadripper 4) socket is a LGA socket that supports
Threadripper processors and uses the AMD X399 chipset. Threadripper processors are
part of the AMD Ryzen series of high-end processors
