Anyone know if an Intel Core i7-5775C CPU would work in the G20-AJ? It's the right socket type, an LGA 1150, but does the BIOS support it?

Thanks

yes the cpu will fit and as far as I see its as good as the i7 4790k but the older chip is cheaper, rather go i7 6700k due to using ddr4 memory. but worth a upgrade if your going from a lower i3/i5 to the i7. the bios should support it, their are both LGA1150 chips

honestly if you already have the i7 4790, stick with that. if you have an i3 & i5 then sure go ahead and upgrade.

I'm presently running an Intel i5-4460. It has its limitations on some games and applications. I'm trying to make up my mind between a i7-4790K or the i7-5775C, for an upgrade. My question is, other than having the same socket, would the BIOS support the i7-5775C.
