Prebuilt motherboard with no official support?

[GL9106]

I was hoping to upgrade cpu but I can't find my motherboard on asus 🙁 my prebuit model is g11cd ws51 and the motherboard is h110i g11cd dp, LGA 1151, DDR4 and BIOS is 0802 but no luck finding official website for it. Does anyone know what processor is compatible with the motherboard?

Any CPU with the socket type LGA 1151 will be compadible with your motherboard. Some may recuior BIOS update to work properly.
Also, with prebuilt machines like that make sure your PSU can handle any upgratdes. It is likely you cant finr the motherboard alone becuase it may be propritery

It would be a dangerous assumption to think you are going to slap in a 7000- series processor, if you have no way of updating the BIOS, however...

If your system was designed with 95 watt TDP in mind, it's possible a 6700 *might* be supported....

Probably better to sell of the cpu and mainboard combo as is, rather than buy a processor and hoping it works.....especially if you had thoughts of 7600/7700....

I've seem the G11CD model with different specs and i7 6700k is one of them. http://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Asus-G11CD/20078

Asus makes motherboards.
They make motherboards with h110i as a model: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H110I-PLUS/
I dont think they made a special motherboard just for that prebuilt.
Use speccy to find your actual motherboard model.

I have a feeling it's this one specifically, and is only compatible with 6th gen CPUs:

As even the tower says it's only compatible with 6th gen (skylake, but not kabylake) cpus:
