Hi All,

I am running the following mobo

Gigabyte GA Z-170X soc Force
Intel i5-6600K
16GB Memory
Ati Radeon RX560 4GB

High Sierra with latest security updates

Running all smoothly fantastic system never had issues since day one all compatible fast reliable, however I would like to upgrade CPU from current i5-6600K to i7- 7700k

Can I just replace CPU and everything should work or are there involved high risks of crashing the system?

If there is a way to do it safely what are the steps involved.

I have full backup on NAS server and Attached disks done on daily basis so....all good from that point of view

Thanks
