Hi,
So I just got the i7-8700k and installed it in my Asus K6+ z170 motherboard. At the time I didn't know about that incompatibility, and the computer was not powering on at all, no lights or anything. After researching, I found out I need a z370 motherboard. My question is though, even though it's incompatible should have the pc at least powered on and tried BIOS since it was the same socket? I just want to make sure there isn't something defective with the cpu before I buy a new motherboard.
