Hi, wanting to upgrade my cpu to one with more cores, ether 6 or 8. I want to know what CPUs are compatible with my motherboard??

It's an Asus p8b75 mlx.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Your motherboard does not support 6 or 8 core cpus.
The closest you can come is a I7 which has hyperthreading and gives 8 threads via 4 full cores plus 4 hyperthreads.
That would be a i7-3770 or i7-3770K
Here is a cpu support list.

Why do you need more cores?
