iirc it only supports 8th and 9th gen chips. Not sure what chipset supports 6th gen, but you could probably find it with a little research. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Yea easily, I just saw this on a quick amazon search and wondered if you could backwards compatible older chips on newer boards.
