i7 9700k

hi guys , can we use i7 9700k processor in z270f motherboard (300->200series chipset) ?

generally no. however there are a handful of z170/z270 boards that can be modified to accept 8th/9th gen processors. but if you're asking this question you probably shouldnt consider even thinking about that

100 and 200 series chipsets, like H110, B250, Z270, etc. are for 6th and 7th gen only. 300 series are for 8th and 9th gen, like Z370, Z390, B365, etc. Even though they both use LGA 1151, the electrical layout is different.

 

you should use PCPartPicker.com, it has a compatibility filter that you can use to check stuff like this in the future.

as others have said, officially no, but you might be able to mod older boards to work, no guarantees on success or stability.
