Can I use it with Intel Core i7-4770K?

There is mounting hardware for the socket, and the cooler is plenty capable even with a moderate overclock with this chip. Or did you have a different concern?

Yes you can game with this CPU. Please check with game for specification requirements.

if the i7 uses the lga 1150 platform then yes it will work just fine. how ever if it uses any other platform such as lga 1155 or lga 2011 or so on then no you will need to go look for another motherboard. if you don't know what platform it runs on check the model of your cpu. if it starts with a 4 (example 4770k) then it is a haswell cpu that runs on the lga 1150 platform and it will work. if it does not start with a 4 it is likely from another generation of cpu and will instantly damage your pc if you try to use it. you can also check the gigabyte website to see what CPUs' work on this motherboard. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4491# if the i7 uses the lga 1150 platform then yes it will work just fine. how ever if it uses any other platform such as lga 1155 or lga 2011 or so on then no you will need to go look for another motherboard. if you don't know what platform it runs on check the model of your cpu. if it starts with a 4 (example 4770k) then it is a haswell cpu that runs on the lga 1150 platform and it will work. if it does not start with a 4 it is likely from another generation of cpu and will instantly damage your pc if you try to use it. you can also check the gigabyte website to see what CPUs' work on this... » Read More if the i7 uses the lga 1150 platform then yes it will work just fine. how ever if it uses any other platform such as lga 1155 or lga 2011 or so on then no you will need to go look for another motherboard. if you don't know what platform it runs on check the model of your cpu. if it starts with a 4 (example 4770k) then it is a haswell cpu that runs on the lga 1150 platform and it will work. if it does not start with a 4 it is likely from another generation of cpu and will instantly damage your pc if you try to use it. you can also check the gigabyte website to see what CPUs' work on this motherboard. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4491# « Show Less

Yes, you can! It is an Intel i5 4200U. Very good processor! And you have an 8GB ram. So don't worry about this.

I use an i7 4770k. Didn't have to update the bios with this board. As long as the processor you are buying is an Intel 1150 it should work right away. This board features 2 bios in case one is messed up. I tried to flash(update) my bios and the pc crashed deleting the bios. I flipped the switch to bios B and it works fine.

Thanks a lot for your response Askal, I have a core i7 2.98 Ghz with 4 GB RAM I will get the unit.

Yes.When in doubt, look at the processor socket and th socket on Motherboard. They should be same.i7 4790K needs a motherboard with LG1150 socket, which this motherboard has

Im certain your cpu can handle it. I would like to know if my i5 650 can....

yes... if the processor is lga775 you can use a core 2 duo or dual core processors with this board... i did it

Yes. I installed it with a eight core AMD processor and it works great. Remember that the motherboard and memory must be compatible for type and speed.

Yes it is compatible, I just found a compatibility list and this was one of the many supported. I purchased this to run with a i5 4670k and it even runs at the advertised MHz without adjusting. :)

Yes it will support the Core i&-4770K; I have one installed in mine. It has 3 PCI-e gen3 slots and uses 8/8/4 configuration. Fitting/running them in your computer is a function of case size and power supply.

Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.

It depends on the chip set. You can look up compatibility at the Intel site and maybe on the ACER site.

The answer is yes, check Intel's site for all the data you need.http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-i7-processor.html

Yeah, actually it would be a pretty drastic improvement, considering the 4770k has the highest single core cpu performance and if you have a decent cooling system you can get some serious results.
