Replacement for i7-7700k

[Eur0star]

my i7-7000 processor needs replacing.

Intermittent crashes and on a stress test Core 0, Thread 0 failed.

I have an ASUS ROG STRIX Z270F motherboard; this has an Intel® Socket 1151 7th Gen.

Can you please recommend a new processor

And, have you updated the motherboard bios?

As far as replacement processors, you can only use (on that board) what asus says you can use:

It has the latest bios.

Yes I looked at the list - I will just have to search for a i7-7700k

Interesting, your view on win 11 !

Since it is discontinued, you have the used market to search, or maybe someone has NOS.

W11?  Just an opinion.

Bought a refurbished i7-7700k and fitted it.

The system has not crashed since.
