    35/45W TDP Quadcore CPU with IRIS GPU, which would be supported ITX MB with DC input?

    Hello,
    i wonder if i7-6770HQ CPU used for Intel NUC could be used with normal retail MB?

    I want this cpu because of IRIS GPU decent graphic and want to use Akasa Euler S, so i have not possibility of external GPU.

    If it wound work, there is second question is there any way how to buy this CPU, other than crush INTEL NUC Skull Canyon?

    The CPU you want is listed on Intel's specs page as FCBGA1440, which means is a BGA chip soldered onto a motherboard.
    So, i think you buy the combo, not the CPU alone and use on another motherboard.

    That CPU is soldered onto the mainboard.
    AKA not removable

    MQ is swappable/upgradeable and HQ is not.

    Have you considered the possibility of using an i7 5775c? It features the Iris GPU packed with some strong CPU performance. Plus, you can go cheap - I think - with a Z97 mobo + regular DDR3.

    If you don't care about the extra threads, you can also get an i5 5675C. Both are very strong CPUs.
