Yes, so long as you get the right board and then reflash to the right bios. All of ASrock's Z170 chipset boards support this. Just make sure you flash to the "Sky OC" bios found on the support page for your motherboard. When it was in beta, it disabled support for c-states, but now that it's just up on the regular bios update page I'm not sure if that's still the case. Either way, I would still OC the shit out of that i5-6400.
