Questions about ASUS Z97 PRO Gamer

Hey 1. you need a CPU cooler with a Z97 or LGA1150 compatibility. 2. budget??? overclocking?? 3. my suggestions: -budget version be quiet! Pure Rock (15.50cm) -Wakü Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX (5.10cm) Good alternative: Noctua NH-D15 (16.50cm) LG

You can simply install it and don't need to make any settings in the BIOS, it runs directly with the default settings :)

Sockel: 1150

Depends on the i5, they have different sockets depending on the series (I think only the 4000s have LGA 1150).

Practically every new power supply is compatible. The Z97 has an 8 pin connector, if you search for a power supply here you will find "4+4 pin 12V", which is the power connector for the processor. Some new power supplies also have 8 pin EPS, but there is no difference if 4+4 or 8 pin. Only old power supplies still have 4 pin 12V connections, the mentioned adapter can help, but it can also lead to problems with some processors.
