Feb 24, 2022 6 0 10 Hi guys, First post on here. I bought a new ASUS ROG G20CB-DB71-GTX1070 with a i7-6700K 3.4Ghz CPU. I am having some bottenecking emulators and I'd like to upgrade the CPU. I have upgraded the BIOS from build date 2016 to the current one built in 2018 - version 2202. I've read on forums here and there that an updated BIOS will enable this motherboard to accept 7th gen Intel CPU. I'd like to drop in an i7-7700K 4.2GHz. Is this possible? Thanks!

Feb 24, 2022 6 0 10 Is this the answer to my question? Assuming that the Asus G20CB does indeed have a H170-PRO board: https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1031846 Upvote 0 Downvote M

Well, if they don't want to tell you, your chances of gaining this info from somewhere else are slim. Upvote 0 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here. Share: Facebook X Bluesky LinkedIn Reddit Tumblr WhatsApp Email Share Link
