Can it run a 8700k chips or is it only supportive for the 4th gen ??? or is the socket only for 1150 or 1151 ? i am not sure not allot of information about it unless i go digging for the exact stuff 😀

The 8700k is on the LGA1151 socket while your motherboard has the LGA1150 and supports only intel 4th gen Haswell and Haswell refresh CPUs.

Here's the CPU support list for that motherboard

According to the the manufacturer web site : https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/G1Sniper-B5-rev-1x#sp
your motherboard only supports LGA1150 , 4th generation i3-i5-i7 CPU.

The 8700K is not only a LGA1151 Die CPU but also the wrong generation your motherboard could possibly handle.

sorry no it will not work
