No you can't i7 8700k is coffee lake (8th Gen) which uses B360 or Z370 chipset motherboards. The i3 is kaby lake (7th gen) this works on Z170, Z270, B250 and B150 boards. Coffee lake boards are not backwards compatible with kaby lake, like kaby lake is with skylake.

Can we put a core i7 8700k in a core i3 7100 machine which has a gigabyte ga b250M DS3H motherboard do we need to change the motherboard or is there any cheap motherboard like under $100 doller which can support both i3 7100 and i7 8700k?

 

Thank You. 

Hello Muhammad,

 

Both CPU's support FCLGA1151 which means that it will work however, i3 doesn't support DDR4-2666.

Also the motherboard will work with them as well.

Are you sure ?

The Core i 8th and 9th gen chips use what's internally known as 1151v2. The chipsets on this socket don't have any support for 6th and 7th gen CPUs. It's no longer the case where the socket designation is all you need to determine compatibility.

Yes. Very sure.

 

It's clearly listed on the product pages as well.

The board I mentioned in my post supports 7th and 6th gen core processors. So isn't there's a board that supports 8th gen and 7th gen core processors?

No, there are no boards that support 6th/7th gen & the 8th gen. The best CPU that you should reasonably use with your motherboard is the i7-7700 or the i7-6700. No point in buying the "K" suffix CPUs since your board doesn't allow for overclocking anyway.

You are right, I am sorry I have checked the wrong CPU on Intel official website.

When I looked at the 8700K it was showing 7th gen tho...

 

Keep up the good work.

If you want to upgrade to use your 8700K you can grab this motherboard for around 100$ used will be cheaper MSI B360 Gaming Arctic also it will allow you to overclock as you have "K" processor.

You see i don't mind buying the 7700. In fact i would really love to get my hands on one but the thing is it costs about $300 to $350 translated to my country currency it for about between Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 60,000.....:'(

 

And that Rs. 40,000 is actually my budget to by my self a rig for gaming and working.
