Keep in mind your CPU is already the best you can have in this motherboard (assuming you mean 2600K).

2700K is one step up on the 2600K (a la 11700K vs 11900K) but yes, either way a CPU upgrade isn't really in the cards.

Run CPU-Z and click on the Mainboard tab.

Screenshot what it reports.

 

Also, there is no 2700K. Do you mean the 2600K?

I can't tell you exactly without a picture, but given that it currently has a 2700K, it's likely compatible with most Intel 2nd and 3rd gen CPUs with the correct BIOS. Anything newer than that will not fit.

Keep in mind your CPU is already the best you can have in this motherboard (assuming you mean 2600K).

Easiest way to figure out the motherboard type is just by looking at it, specifically if you see any names placed on it or a sticker.

 

If you're unsure, please take a picture of the inside of the machine and we can probably figure out what motherboard it is.

There is indeed a 2700K. It's just not as common.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
