Salutations,

My name is Chandler, and I have a question of Earth-Shattering importance; is the Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE Motherboard compatible with Intel® Core™ i7-3940XM Processor Extreme Edition; despite its absence on the CPU Support List, which could be due to the fact that this particular processor launched in Q3'12? I am building a custom PC, and so far, everything is great except for this unknown. Any help is much appreciated, and Thanks in advance for your time and considerations. (Also, in case you are wondering, I plan on overclocking anywhere in the range of 4-6 GHz)

Sincerely,

Chandler

The desktop motherboard Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE supports LGA1155 socket.

The Intel® Core™ i7-3940XM Processor is designed for mobile systems (laptops) and uses socket FCPGA988.

This is a not compatible combination.
