The i7-2600 has a LGA 1155 socket requirement and the GA-Z97X motherboard uses an LGA 1150 socket. Your chip was released in 2011 and is not compatible with the latest board designs. Damage to the chip and/or the motherboard can result if the socket type doesn't match for both units.

Yes you can use any CPU the new CPUs use am3+ socket but old ones are only am3 so this motherboard can handle both

No. The i7-2600K is a socket 1155 processor. The Asus Z9pe-D16 requires socket 2011 CPUs like the Dual Intel Core Xeon E5-2620 Hex Core processors.

As long as your CPU is LGA 1366, it will work. I use the I use the 1st generation i7 930 and have had no problems.Hard to find good motherboards for our chipsets these days.

Hi Jennifer. Best way to answer this is to just go to Intel site: http://processormatch.intel.com/MotherBoards/CompatibleBoards?componentName=i5-3350P , Here you can find out all the specs and MB that the processor is compatible with.

Yes! I'm rocking an OC i7 3820 on this board and it absolutely screams. Couldn't be happier with the board + cpu choice, especially for the money. I built my machine before the 4th generation i7's came out though, so I can't comment on whether it's worth it to get a 4 series or not.

You can, but this board does not have onboard graphics, so you will have to make sure that your processor has integrated graphics

No, the newest motherboard compatible with this processor is the Z77 chipset. They use socket 1155, not the 1150.

Yes..I checked the MSI website for this board/cpu combination you mentioned and YES, supported.

This motherboard has an LGA 1150 socket for the CPU. You will need to check what the socket is on the specific i7 processor is to ensure the right fit.

No thats an Intel board and doesn't support it, this processor your looking at will only work with the newer boards 990 series and its an am3+ type motherboard. Youd have to build a new machine to be using this processor.

Yes, it's compatible with any Core i3/5/7 LGA 1155 processor. The graphics are not on the mobo, they are on the chip, so performance depends on which processor you get (Core i3 has the HD2000 integrated GPU, while the i5/7 have HD3000).

no not at all. this is a amd socket motherboard there is no intel chip that will work on it.

Check the Gigabyte website for this motherboard and what CPUs are supported by this motherboard. Here's the link: http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=495. You should be good to go with this processor. Great MB.

Just keep in mind that not all I7 CPU's are LGA 1155 sockets....the new I7s ...4th generation I7s are LGA 1150 and we not work with this board...
