Question about ASUS Strix Z370-I Gaming
is this mainboard compatible with the i7 7700 ??? or is it really only the coffelake family? and if so it can cause damage to the computer
No. Only with the 8th generation. Via Bios update also with 9th generation. See manufacturer's website: https://www.asus.com/ch-de...
For the i7-7700K I recommend a motherboard with a Z170 or Z270 chipset.
