CPU kill Mobo, Mobo kill new CPU?

So I tried delidding my 6700K and I butchered the traces. Motherboard wouldn't post, would power up but it's a uATX with no error code LEDs or anything. Tried clearing CMOS several times, no luck. I bought a 7700K because I just wanted it working and move on. Just put it in today, and now it will power cycle once then not post. So did my damaged 6700K destroy my mobo? If so then did I also destroy the brand new 7700k? Where should I go from here? Do I RMA the 7700K and just move to a new platform or should I gamble with another z170m board and hope the 7700K is still good?

 

I'm currently overseas and shipping is a nightmare.

Dead things can take other dead things with it. RMA the 7700k with hope that Intel would send you a new one. Annnnd replace the mobo.

When did you buy that Z170 board/what bios is on it? Does the bios support kaby lake cpus?

 

I doubt you managed to kill your motherboard, and I certainly doubt you killed your 7700k.

If you didn't update the BIOS on your board to support the 7700K you're not going to get anything from it. Get a Z270 board.

So you're leaning to the motherboard being fine. Hypothetically if I just go into a local repair shop, have them put in a Pentium temporarily, and update the BIOS, you think the 7700K should POST no problem? That would be the fastest solution, I suppose. It would at least confirm the state of the motherboard.

yup.

 

Z170 needs a BIOS update for Kaby Lake CPUs.
