Product: Hp omen 880-020no
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

l'd like to know what processors could I put in the Hp naples motherboard that came with an Hp Omen 880-020no? The official page says that it supports Intel i7-7700 and Intel i5-7400. However, since the chipset is H270 could I use any processor compactible with that chipset listed on Intel's own website ranging from a Pentium G4500 all the way to a i7-7700K? (although there is no reason to use an unlocked cpu with a motherboard that doesn't support overclocking)

 

What kinds of problems could I face if I used a cpu that Hp doesn't list as compactible, but Intel does (on that chipset)? Is it likely that I will face any problems at all?

 

I happen to have an extra Hp naples motherboard (scavenged from my old Omen 880-020no)  and I could make a secondary budget pc by putting either an i3 or a Pentium into that mobo. The i7-7700 that came with the pc is now in use in another pc.
