[SOLVED] What chipset does this cpu use?

[Proprietary Software]

I am planning to buy a low-specs Intel BX80677G3930 7th Gen Celeron. Everything is compatible, socket and ram. But I am not sure if it will work on my z370 chipset. I searched on https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...eleron-processor-g3930-2m-cache-2-90-ghz.html and couldn't get anything useful. Can someone be kind enough to tell me if it will be compatible and how you know?

Kaby lake is not compatible with z370.

nvm...
it is right there on the page. Not sure how I managed to skip it

It's written on the product page and you wrote 7th gen. No 7th gen cpu will work with a z370 chipset.

thanks but how did you find out it is kaby lake?

The product page for your motherboard should have a compatibility list for CPU's. Why on earth would you run a celeron on z370 BTW?
