I'm considering upgrading my CPU to an i5 14600KF but I'm not sure if my ASRock H610M motherboard will support it. My current setup is limiting my AMD RX 9060XT 16GB, and since the 14600KF is affordable where I live, it seems like a great option. Can anyone confirm if this motherboard is compatible with that CPU? If it isn't, what other CPU upgrades would you recommend?

According to the specs on the ASRock website, it does support the 14th gen CPUs! Just check the support section for any details you might have missed. By the way, what CPU are you looking to replace? Are you running into performance issues in certain games?
Absolutely, it should work! Just keep in mind that while it will run, you might face VRM throttling during heavy loads. That's the real concern here.
Yep, your motherboard can support the i5 14600KF, but make sure you have BIOS version 6.03 or newer to avoid any issues.
Thanks! Yeah, I should’ve been clearer about the VRM throttling. Is there a way to avoid that?
