Processor question
I'm going to be building a computer soon, and the motherboard I chose is an 1151 socket motherboard that supports DDR4 ram, but the CPU I've been looking at is an 8th generation i5 with an 1151 socket, will it work with the 7th generation motherboard, or is the chipset wrong?

6th and 7th gen processors work with z170/z270 boards but z370 boards are only compatible with 8th gen intel processors

Socket matters more than chipset because there's more than one chipset per socket (usually) that works.
