Will this be future proofed?
5 minutes ago, Ssiss said:I'll test it and report back :). Egpu is definitely compatible with it but I hear what youre saying.
Anyone know whether it's possible to add a 8700t to a HP motherboard that per hp does not support it but it's an lga1151 and the same 35w as the 7700t I have in the envy currently?
You wouldn't have any problems running any other lga1151 processors from the same or previous generation (i.e 7400t or even a desktop grade 7700/7700k given that the motherboard can provide enough power for those to run without crashing), that said running anything from 8th gen would not be possible, at least not easily. It's not HP spec that doesn't support it, it's Intels. All 100 and 200 series chipsets don't support 8th gen processors even though they have the same socket, Intel claims they're not electrically compatible (the pinout of the socket is not exactlly the same).
