You need a bios update to support the 7700K. Hyper 212 Evo, Noctua or all in one water cooler will do.

There's really no reason to get a 7700k since your Mobo doesnt really support overlcoking to my knowledge, just get a 7700

Secondly I believe you will need to find/hire someone with a 6th gen Intel in order to update your BIOS to support the 7th gen ones.

richiestang - I think you may be incorrect about the mobo bios update. The guy already has a g4560 installed. He should be able to download and install a bios update.

You're spot on on the i7-7700 though. An H110 mobo will not support overclocking.

G4560 is 7th gen CPU Kabylake and it works on your current mobo, so you don't need to update bios. i7 7700 or 7700K will work. Cheaper to get non-K.

Your motherboard will support the 7700k but as already stated you will not be able to overclock on your current motherboard.
You will how ever ofc have the slight added boost the 7700k have over the none (k) version.

Hi, I'm looking forward to the same upgrade. But, it's my consideration, the fact that whether these mobos can handle the 7700K without any hiccups. I have an ASUS H110M-A/m.2 with the above processor installed and looking forward to buy a used 7700K which is 50K Sri Lankan Rupees / nearly 280 US Dollars as of April 2019. But, I've seen people discussing about the lack of VRM modules and lack of power phases. Since motherboards with h110 chipsets are supposed to be "Entry Level and budget friendly", I was thinking the same. My question is,
*** Should I upgrade to a Z270 motherboard for a smooth and long running? Or, will the current H110 handle the processor adequately, even under heavy loads??
Thanks in advance!
