Upgrading CPU on my R6

I'm looking at upgrading my i5-7400 to an i7-8600K, and I've been trying to find out if this CPU is compatible with the Aurora R6, and if not, what would be an alternative that could provide similar power? Thanks.

For an Aurora-R6, I think an Intel i7-7700 would be better because it originally shipped with that one so more likely to work in that MB.

With an Intel-i7, a Liquid-Cooler is also recommended (if you plan to actually "use it").  :Smile:

Thanks, this was a great help. Do you know of any liquid cooling systems that I can replace my stock CPU fan with?

There is a couple of recent threads. If you can't find them, let us know.
