Changing my bios.. new motherboard?

eytanofir · Apr 27, 2018

Hi i have the hp 2B4B Motherboard
as you guys know hp likes to hide overclocking options..
i have the i7-6700k and i really need to overclock and doing it via xtu or stuff like that is cousing problems for me,
i can change the Ghz in the bios but cannot change the volteg..
so i know i cannot put just a asus chip beacuse that will not work...
so if i will get a new motherboard say asus motherboard beacuse they give a lot of oc options will my bios change to asus bios?
allso i want to get the i7-8700K is it worth getting? beacuse i have the i7-6700k
thanks

Although it has a higher turbo boost frequency and six cores, it is up to you whether it is worth the upgrade expense. It would modernize your system.

terry4536 · Apr 27, 2018

The motherboard for the i7-6700K needs a LGA1151 motherboard, but t will not work with a 300 series motherboard. Here is an example. I would check to see if your memory is compatible with the new motherboard.

Also when choosing your new motherboard, measure the size of the old motherboard. It may not be a regular ATX size motherboard.

terry4536 · Apr 27, 2018

After a bit of research, I believe that the old motherboard is a micro-ATX. That limits the selection of motherboards.

Here is a list of available micro-ATX Z270 motherboards at Newegg.

Another possibility is to move your system to another case. That would allow you a much better selection of motherboards. Something like this Corsair mid tower case would fit any regular ATX size motherboard. That would be permit a Z270 motherboard plus the cooling for overclocking your processor.

allso is that going to be fine for the 8700k? beacuse i might update to it.

thanks

No, the I7-8700K requires a different series of motherboard. It takes a LGA1151 300 series motherboard like the Z370. None of the new 300 series (even though they are also LGA 1151) are compatible with previous years processors.

Those require a 100 or 200 series LGA 1151 motherboard like the Z270 motherboard that I linked above. So you would need to change motherboards again to upgrade to the I7-8700K from the I7-6700K.

eytanofir · Apr 28, 2018

Ok got it so i will need the one for the 8700k could you send me a link for a ASUS z370 and just to confirm it will be fine with my gtx 980ti?
thanks

could you confirm that this motherboard Asus PRIME Z370-P
is going to be compatible with the 8700k? allso i have 4 samsung 8 gb ram sticks will they fit?
thanks

eytanofir :

The i7-8700K is compatible with the Asus Prime Z370-P motherboard (but not the i7-6700K).

You would need to specify the exact memory to confirm it's compatibility.

The following DDR4 memory is compatible with the ASUS Intel PRIME Z370-P Socket LGA 1151 DDR4 ATX Motherboard.

4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 4000(O.C.)/3866(O.C.)/3733(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3400(O.C.)/3333(O.C.)/3300(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory *
Dual Channel Memory Architecture
Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)

Here is a list of Asus motherboards compatible with the I7 8700K processor. All have PCI Express 3.0 x 16 slots and are compatible with your GTX 980Ti graphics card.
