[SOLVED] Is the i3 7100 compatible with this motherboard?

[Ryan0710]

I’m building a pc for a friend using a bunch of old parts I have. Will the i3 7100 be compatible with an msi h170m-a pro mATX motherboard?

generally, many (more likely, most)100 series boards supported 7th gen, BUT...odds are , after a BIOS update, as the 7th gen CPUs were released well after the mainboards...

I'd not get the board unless you have access to a supported 6th gen CPU to be able to flash the mainboard's BIOS...
