Hi @Imman_im 

 

Guessing, if you have a 8300 SFF PC, the i7 3rd Gen CPU may work since the 3397 MB supports third gen Intel CPUs.

 

I can't find definitive confirmation, the base product ships with an i5-3570. CPU support for i7 depends upon HP including detection of this CPU in the BIOS firmware.

 

Try the HP MB with the Intel i7 CPU to see how it goes.

 

Regards
