General question about compatibility

[The Random]

Will an Intel H61 with a chipset of Sandybridge work with an Intel Core I7-3770?

(Full report using CPU-Z attached)

It's best to assume this motherboard only supports Sandy Bridge; Core i7-2000 series only.

Just asking because of the fact it seems fine with this one but I wanted to make sure

This is a Core i5-2000 series "Sandy Bridge" which is expected to work.

One last question will an I7-2700k work?

Go buy an i5 xeon equivalent like e3 1220 v2 or i7 xeon equivalent like e3 1230

I haven't been able to identify the board yet. Is it an OEM/Prebuilt? What does the BIOS itself show?

 

The safest choice is the i7-2600, but the 3770 may work, given the bios timestamp. We need more info to know for sure.
