[SOLVED] Can i swap my i5 6400 for a i7 6900k or do i need to go with a i7 6700k?

[AxelG]

Is it the same socket? or do i need another motherboard to install a 6900k or a i7 6850k??

Simple answer, no you can't drop an LGA2011-3 CPU into an LGA1151 socket. Make and model of your motherboard, please?

After some searching i think that https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33028429560.html is the motherboard i got in my computer right now. Is it the same if i would uppgrade to a 7th gen cpu aswell?
