Hello everyone. I made a significant error by using an i7 8700k in a 1151 socket with a b250m chipset. I'm planning to get a new motherboard with the correct z370 chipset. My concern is whether the CPU could be damaged in any way. Thanks in advance.

Unique processor connection point ensures accurate detection; otherwise the board may fail to function. Everything is okay.

Does the harm affect the motherboard, causing it to stop functioning?
