[SOLVED] I7 2600k on hp 8200 elite mobo

[JoshTehNoob]

Hey guys. I want to know if i7 2600k is compatible with hp 8200 elite motherboard.

It should be as those systems shipped with the non "K" versions. But it would be a waste of a "K" processor as you cannot overclock those systems.

What his saying is that it can run it,but it would be a waste of a k model since if the intel cpu has a K in its name it means its overclockable,but OEMs like lenovo,dell,hp ussually have restricted bios so you cant touch the ram and cpu.thats what he meant,but i still think you CANT run it cuz if you look at the link i sent you in this thread it says it doesnt support the k module (doesnt support the 2600k,but supports 2600)

I'd actually not a waste. I have 2600k processors in Dells that can't overclock them. The k does add about 100Mhz more cpu speed as well as a faster igpu:

And otherwise the k and non-k are identical, so you should be able to upgrade without an issue.
