Very quick question.

Since the new covfefe-lake(k-series 8th gen cpu) can only use the z370 series motherboard , but not the z270 and z170. even though all of them is 1151 socket.

Can the Kabylake( i have i7-7700k ) , run on the z370?

No

 

[Manuel Fredrick Thodos]

Nope

 

[Adel Yasser]

Nope too, different power delivery

ok thx. so im stucked with getting a z270 then. the mobo design in z370 is sick..

This is the thing with Intel - changing motherboards every CPU. AMD have "promised" to keep support of the same motherboards, but they did that before and we ended up with terrible performance. Basically both camps take the piss
