Will the i7-6800k CPU fit on my motherboard?

Xero_Jack · Jun 29, 2017

Hi people,

about 4 months ago I build my first PC with a friend, and it works absolutely brilliant, but I need a new CPU for the work I have to do on it (video editing and streaming for fun) but I have absolutely no idea if the CPU I have in mind will fit on my motherboard. I've looked for multiple guides and tutorials on how to check if it will fit but I just don't understand it.

If anybody could help me or tell me if the Intel i7-6800k (a 6-core CPU) will fit on my Asus z170 Pro Gaming motherboard I would be very thankful

Greetings,
Jack

Hello. According to what's I've seen yes it should. The 6800k is a 1151 cpu, so it fits in the 1151 socket

Ryzenhasrisen :

the I7 6800K is an intel broadwell-E CPU not a skylake CPU like the I7 6700K. it will not fit because it uses an LGA 2011-3 socket

you never mentioned what your current CPU is but the only I7 CPU's that work with that mobo will be an intel I7 6700K or an i7 7700K with a BIOS update

Again, I'm very sorry. I misread what was supported
