Great, that't the one you want. Try the things I suggested above, if that does not sort you out then you can try using the battery removal technique and clear your CMOS more thoroughly (gets rid of RTC settings and a few others that the jumper does not).

Let us know how it goes.

7.2 which happens to be the most recent as well as the only one available for kabylake support.

Welcome to the forums.

I would try the following:

1. Clear CMOS
2. Reinstall Intel Management Engine
3. Reinstall Intel INF utility
4. Boot into safe mode then shut down and boot back up normally

Clearing CMOS (if you have not already) will get rid of any eroneous settings potentially left over from the 6600k, reinstalling intel's ME and INF utilities will refresh drivers and booting into safe mode will force windows to detect and correctly identify your new CPU.

In addition, what BIOS version are you running?

Hi, recently I upgraded from a 6600k to a 7700k and I am having nothing but issues. Before the upgrade everything was running smoothly but now I am getting constant microstutter, and often flat out lag in games, and the desktop as well as browser often stutters or downright lags as well. I have also noticed random temp spikes while games are loading despite low cpu usage, while at other times I notice high usage when there probably shouldn't be. Everything in the bios is default and I have made no changes to the pc other than swapping the cpu. I have also noticed extremely high latency.

I have run intels processor diagnostic tool, realbench, cinebench, occt, and numerous game benchmarks and everything is in line, and yet overall performance is very inconsistent with the above mention issues when actually gaming or using the pc.

Is it possible that despite a bios update making the gaming k6 compatible with kabylake that there are simply compatibility issues? Any advice would be appreciated as it is very upsetting having gone from being excited about an upgrade to having a recently perfectly working pc suddenly performing terribly after said upgrade.

My specs are
7700k/cryorig h7(not the best but temps are reasonable)
z170 gaming k6
r9 390
16g 2400 ddr4
750w evga b2

Thanks.
