Ivy bridge CPU on LGA1155 mobo?

[KillingLynx]

Hello! I have a HP CompaQ 8200 Elite with a lga1155 mobo. I'm using the stock i5-2400 CPU, but i've been looking to upgrade to the i7-3770(k), but i'm wondering if it would work, bcz the i7 is an Ivy bridge CPU, and my current one is a Sandy bridge CPU. I know Intel said that lga1155 supports Ivy, but does that also apply to my HP CompaQ? 100÷? Thanks!

You should check the HP website to see which processors are supported for that motherboard.. might need a BIOS update

From what I'm seeing in your machines documentation, it supports up to a i7-2600K, which is very near the 3770K in performance. An Ivy Bridge may work, but then again it may not.

If your board manufacturer released a BIOS update to add support for Ivy Bridge chips then it may work, but I very much doubt HP did and they probably stopped updating the BIOS a long time ago. I'd get a new board and a new chip or if not just go for the 2600.

I checked through the BIOS updates and didn't find anything. I'd go for the 2600K.
