Not posting

I have an Asus tuf z270 mark 2 with an I5 7600k. I found a deal on a I7 700k so I got it. Removed the i5 and put in the I7 and once I hit the power button the fans and rgb kicked on but it didn't post. I waited like 3 minutes and still nothing no beeps or anything. I have the latest bios for the mobo and as soon as I put the i5 back in it posted in like 10 seconds. Not sure what to do haven't had any experience with CPU's since 2011. Thanks

Try with 1 RAM stick

You can also try rolling back the BIOS

Is it in the supported CPU list

Yes it is a supported cpu. I will give the 1 stick of ram a try when I get back from work. Thanks

The word “deal” sticks out.  There are apparently a lot of counterfeit CPUs appearing. Some have the factory heat shield and factory glue but no actual cpu inside the heat shield.

@Bombastinator Do they not realise the buyer will just return it

There is often a delay though.  Often enough delay.  It’s possible to either hit-and-run, simply refuse to return the money, or sell to a dealer who doesn’t test stuff and let them take the heat.  One I’ve seen is relabeling of lower end chips which increases the delay because a victim has to do testing to realize they’ve been swindled.
 

Crime is all about running away.

Cool!  Good review probably in order especially if it can be gotten working.
