which board work with kaby lake

[Drake5]

I've got an h110m-k with a 7600k but I want to overclock but I'm not sure which motherboards will work with kaby lake because I know some will have to be updated but I won't be able to do so because of not having the right CPU

I've been looking at the z170 gaming K3 as it's only £100 but not sure if it will work straight away

You need a Z170 or Z270 board to be able to overclock the 7600k. Be warned though that a Z170 board will most likely need a bios flash with a Skylake cpu for Kabylake to work in it. The alternative would be to find a board that has USB flashback that doesn't need a cpu installed to flash the bios. Certain Asus boards have this feature, not sure about any other manufacturers.
