I have researched on many websites about the QHQG AND QH8G variants but all of the sites were about the z170 overclockable chipset, none of them were about h170a, h110, b150......these budget chipsets. I know that this processor has a good price performance while overclocking, but for a budget build, buying z170 motherboards is expensive, do you have an non OC chipset that you can test on, or know any website that uses a budget non OC chipset??

I cant and dont want to overclock this processor since i have a non-overclockable chipset h170a gaming pro msi motherboard, and I really want to have the power of an i7 6700 processor for video editing using adobe premiere, and also minor gaming in mind. I have a gtx 1050ti external graphics card, so the non functional igpu is not a problem, for stability issues, seldom shutdowns while in use is not a problem for me. i am also willing to put time and research into this plan, and i am going for QH8G instead of a QHQG , because of the cheaper 80 dollar price on taobao. do i need to update the bios on my motherboard, the h170a gaming pro ? and will i get the performance of a i7 6700 processor not considering the issues of instability?

Recently built a gaming rig, with the h170a gaming pro from msi, the processor I used was a skylake i5 6500, and 16gb of RAM. When rendering videos I have to wait a while, but recently found a i7 6400t engineering prototype on taobao a Chinese auction site , despite being an engineering sample it has the potential of a skylake i7 6700 which is a cpu used in most mid-high ranged PCs, but is the i7 6400t capable of speeds which the skylake i7 6700 can , without overclocking?, If not which engineering sample processor can match the speed of an i7 6700 with no overclocking?? PS: I don't mind using an engineering sample, since speed is more important to me , also note that h170a chipset doesn't support overclocking! I am trying for the QH8G variant since it is cheaper than the QHQG
