I'm looking to upgrade my CPU so I can make use of my additional SATA slot. I want to know if the Intel Core i5-12400F will fit in my Gigabyte B560 DS3H AC-Y1 motherboard. Any insights?

Your Gigabyte B560 DS3H AC can accept 10th and 11th gen Intel CPUs, but the Intel Core i5-12400F is a 12th gen chip, so it won't work with your motherboard. You can double-check the specs on Gigabyte's site to confirm this. Just a tip, Google can also help you find info on compatible CPUs!
Definitely check the manual for your B560. It usually has a list of supported CPUs. That’ll guide you to the right choice to make sure everything works together!
Nope, it won't fit. Your motherboard is designed for the older generation CPUs, so you'll need to stick with one of those. It might be worth exploring some budget options that are compatible.
To enable that extra SATA slot, you should look into what the manufacturer recommends. It’s best to take a look at your motherboard manual for the specific CPU models that would work. That way, you can find something that fits your budget too!
