Hi all, I was planning to build a new pc. I choose Maximus IX Extreme because of the mono block. My question is:
1. Will the i7 8700K run perfectly on Maximus IX Extreme?

2. Which processor to choose between i7 7700K and i7 8700K? I am having a GTX 1080, I don't want to have any bottleneck between my processor and GPU.


I hope there is someone in this forum can give me opinion on this questions, thank you and have a good day! 😮

The 8700K is not compatible.
7700K is the top CPU that is compatible and will not bootleneck a GTX 1080
