Is my Motherboard compatible with current CPU's?

[Russellcook17]

Hello

 

I keep posting topics about upgrading my system as I am not 100% certain on a lot of things, my specs are;

 

CPU: I7-3770 3.4ghz

Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth z77

GPU: GTX 1070

RAM: 16GB

PSU: Corsair TX850 PSU

 

Are my current components compatible with new generation CPU's? e.g. if i wanted to upgrade to this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Processors/Intel-Core-I7-6700K-GHz-Cache-LGA1151/B012M8LXQW/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1487706175&sr=1-4&keywords=i7

 

Would i be able to?

 

Thanks

No. Your board uses the LGA 1155 socket and that CPU uses the LGA 1151 socket.

No it will not. You need mobo with 1151 socket: H170, H270, B150, B250, Z170 or Z270

Your motherboard is a Z77 chipset

No, the 6700K uses the LGA 1151 socket and your motherboard is LGA 1155

you mean that cpu? 6700k is a cpu right?

You will need a new one becuase you Motherboards supports CPUs for the 1155 Socket

but the 17-6700k needs the 1151 Socket Something like a Z170 will be okay for that CPU

Nah, it's a motherboard in a new form factor called CPU.
