ROG STRIX B250G GAMING

cpu : Intel Core i5-7640X Quad-Core 4GHz LGA2066

Intel Core i7-860 2.8GHz LGA1156

which one is better anyway?

Hi

ROG STRIX B250G GAMING is a socket LGA-1151 motherboard which is not compatible with any of the cpu you list above

due to different CPU sockets

Microsoft & Intel are no longer supporting Windows 7 on the lattest chipsets & CPUs
Microsoft stopping updates and Intel not supplying driver for integrated graphics.

do you already have any of those CPU's?
if so get an appropriate motherboard & RAM

I don't have any of these cpus,but I want to get a faster one.I have this motherboard,so I hope I can get a faster cpu on that.Can you tell me very good cpus for this motherboard? Or with this motherboard I cannot install windows 7 64 and 32 bit?...thanks for the answer.

Hi

supported cpus
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B250G-GAMING/HelpDesk_CPU/

assuming you will get a graphics card lack of Intel graphics driver is not a problem

lack of windows 7 updates may be a problem with series 7 intels cpu
fastest i5 6600K or 7600k
fastest i7 7700k or 6700k

Asus motherboard drivers support Win 7

Thank you very much.So the motherboard I mentioned will support it right?
Thanks for the list.
My vga is gtx 1070 ti so that's not a problem I think.

I think Im going with i5 6600k then,and should I get coolor for this cpu?I have everything,so the question sounds strange,but maybe its hotter then the i7 I have now?Thank you.Im on windows 10 now,thats why I want to get the compatible parts for win 7 My purpose is 4k 60 fps for older games,and gtx 1070 does the job,I hope the cpu will do the same.

Hi

If you get the non K version and retail boxed version of cpu you get the heatsink fan included.
I dont think your mother board supports over clocking features of K version cpu

Thank you very much,and sorry if Im asking way too much,but I rather ask for details,then spend money for not working parts.Which cpu you recommend?
Regards.

I have i7 7700k.That means I can install windows 7 right now?
