X51 R3 Compatability with 7700k

I wanted to see if anyone here has tried to swap in the 7700K? According to someone on Reddit, they got it to work since it had the latest bios update. But for someone else it didn’t work. See here

I hope you will find this info as it is impossible to correct reddit any more. i7-7700K does not work on X51 R3.
