Will the Aurora R5 ever support the i7-7700k?

Hi,

If the system was not purchased with the i7-7700k processor, then the upgrade will not be possible since the motherboard and the chipset are completely different.

Hi, I heard that this type of chipset and motherboard does support the i7 7700k. Other mfg with the same type of chipset are able to support the i7 7700k, it is just a matter of dell updating the bios so it would support the latest cpu

It is not officially supported. The new version with 7th gen uses a different motherboard.

The old motherboard uses the Z170 chipset, technically it should support it, but it depends if a newer bios will ever go into development to support this new cpu.  

Why would dell give support to a new line of CPU when they don't sell CPU as an upgrade. One it violates their warranty and second, it take sales from them. Unless you are very technically and know how to modify machine code and add the feature yourself, i doubt swapping our your 6th Gen for a 7th Gen CPU is possible.

they don't have to sell it  as an  upgrade... its available everywere, second upgrades don't void warranty, they just don't support the parts you added so if   issues arise they can  request original parts put back  in to make sure its not your parts..  that said....

originally there was rumors  they were going  to  update the bios to  support the 7 series but  instead  came out with a R6.. go figure  but in all honesty the price say from upgrading from 6700k to a 7700k  isn't justified/worth the cost  except  give you a bigger E-PEN* haha
