Discussing a CPU upgrade
Discussing a CPU upgrade
I don't agree with that. The chipset works only with 6th generation CPUs, and 7th with a BIOS flash—actually, that's a 9th generation CPU.
You might consider a used i7 6700 or i7 7700. The H110 chipset isn't very common these days.
You could consider more effective cooling solutions beyond Intel's stock cooler.
The issue is only this one; my SFF case lacks a CPU fan plug. Will the i7-6700 run with a passive cooler?
