I've been planning to upgrade my personal NAS using Supermicro's X11SCL-F motherboard.
This is the first time I've created a build using enterprise hardware.
The CPU I wish to use is Intel's i3-9100F which has similar specs to Intel's i3-8100 with exception to it being 9th gen and lacking integrated graphics.
I intend to utilise the motherboard's own integrated graphics.
I understand Supermicro list's the board as Intel gen 8 compatible and doesn't specify gen 9.
From what I can tell on the desktop side of things 8th and 9th gen Intel CPUs use the same range of chipsets and was hoping this might be the same for server chipsets.
After looking and googling quite a bit I haven't been able to find anything specifically assuring compatibility or incompatibility.
I have read "So, you’ve decided to buy a Supermicro X11 Xeon E (Coffee Lake) board" however it doesn't mention "coffee lake f" explicitly.
The X11SCL-F uses the C242 chipset and doesn't specify 9th gen compatibility.
In comparison the X11SCZ-F is specified to be compatible with gen 9, it using a different chipset this being the C246.
Am I worrying too much?

CPU: i3-9100F
Motherboard: X11SCL-F
