@Lex-321,

 

Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

No, an i7-6800K processor is not compatible with an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 TWR because that processor has an LGA 2011 socket, whereas the 800 G2 is only LGA 1151 compatible.

 

The best processor that would be compatible with an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 TWR is an i7-6700K.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,

Ah well, this is the cpu that is in my tower. Was hoping to get a bit more punch for the buck.

 

Thanks!
