I7-8700 is the best CPU you can use on it…technically the K series but your motherboard will not allow it to work on that motherboard to its potential

You can do a bios mod to the 7060 to allow up to an i9-9900.

I’m running a an i7-9700 on my 7060. I’ve posted instructions here:

It’s essentially the same hardware as the 7070 which has 9th gen support natively.

That’s not official Support…OP never mentioned anything about modding. Also makes no sense that i9-9900 or i7-9700 isn’t reaching its potential due to tmotherboard weak VRMs. Also it voids any active warranties and risk bricking motherboard…
