The i9 7960x should do well with this Air cooler. **Q: Is this compatiable with Windows 8.1 or does it require Windows 10?** A: no windows 7 and 8.1 will not run properly on any x299 platform. there have been numerous reports of people running windows 7 and 8.1 but having issues such as updates and various others. the only windows version that will run properly on the x299 platform is windows 10. microsoft told intel to make ALL kabylake and skylake -x processors incompatable with all windows versions prior to windows 10. **Q: is this a skylake chip** A: While Technically yes, the actual answer is no, because they rebranded all the skylake processors int the X-series of processors. But if you're wanting to know if this is part of the family formally known as Skylake.. Yes it is. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Erster gebraucht Kauf! *by T***E on 4 November 2024* Ich kann den Kauf von gebrauchten Elektronikartikeln über Amazon nur empfehlen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best price and fast delivery *by E***Y on 9 May 2026* Amazing product, made my Alienware run almost anything.
