ir_cow Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Man Intel really screwed up this time. Same socket/pins and notch but the pins are actually allocated differently from what i'm reading. I not sure what would happen if you put a 7700k in a Z370. Can't be good. Edit: Originally everyone thought (including me) that its the TDP that made Intel block 8th Coffee-lake *cough* Kaby-Lakes refresh *cough* from running on the Z270 because the 8700k draw more power, it could cause problems on lower end VRMS since its above the chipset specs. However any board that supports overclocking wouldn't have this problem and eventually a BIOS update would allow it. But since the pins are allocated differently, its a whole new story and we will never see 7th and 8th Kaby-Lakes 7700k / 8700k running on each other chipsets.

Braegnok Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Intel indicated the decision to eliminate Kaby Lake compatibility with Z370 was due, at least in part, to requests from motherboard vendors that the company make a "clean split." For motherboard vendors, this removes the burden of adding support for Kaby Lake (and requisite validation) during a time when most motherboard vendors are already stretched to their engineering resource limits due to rapid fire Intel and AMD launches. Rumor is Intel will have Z390 motherboards coming out in 2018,.. that support enhanced IA and memory overclocking, Thunderbolt 3.0 w/ DP 1.4,.. and perhaps eight-core processors.
