[SOLVED] Will an i7-4930K work on ASUS ASUS B75M-A Motherboard? (not in CPU supported list)

[Chris_6]

I own an ASUS ASUS B75M-A Motherboard, the CPU i want is not in CPU supported list: will any 3rd generation i7 work (the i7-4930K)? The Motherboard says 3rd Generation i3, i5, and i7 but in the not-so-detailed CPU support list, it wasn't there. Please give advice asap. This product is on an ebay listing that will probably not last very long.

That CPU needs an X79 motherboard according to Intel's website.

Thanks, I am having trouble seeing that info though, Beside Code Name it says Products formerly Ivy Bridge E
I figured it was Ivy Bridge (3rd Generation i7)

If you look here -- https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...4930k-processor-12m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz.html
You will see that is a socket 2011 CPU and requires the HEDT motherboard -- See the "compatible products" link on the left side of the page.
