well, I wouldn't pair them like that...

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

H170 would work with the i7-6700k. 

 

Back a few years ago, the Motherboards had South Bridges which sort of functioned like a seconary CPU that was built in to your motherboard which would handle most of the tasks and only pass it on to the CPU when it needed to. For Intel, the Chipsets are slightly easier to understand, in my opinion.

 

Generally, Z-Series are the highest end (ignoring the X series for now) and is the one most overclockers go for if they're on the mainstream chipsets. the H-Series can overclock too, but to a lesser degree and is therefore cheaper and has a lower feature set. Lastly, there is the B-Series "Business" which has the essentials without much else, I'd not try OCing on this.

 

 

Linus could describe this better:

 

 

• NCASE M1 • i5-9600k • GTX 1080 FE • Z370N-WIFI • SF600 • NH-U9S • LPX 32GB • 960EVO •

no; x99 comes on boards with a different socket than a 6700k would fit into

so what would be the best chipset for i76700k? And the x99 could fit with the 5960x right?

yes it will work, the motherboard is LGA 1151 and the CPU is too.

BUT, the CPU can be overclocked, but not on the H170 chipset, I would go with a Z170 board.

Z170 goes with the 6700k and is the "top end" one that would work.  yes x99 goes with the 5960x

X99 is LGA 2011-3 I think, so yes that is 5960X (as well as 5820K and 5930K I think)

Yes, as in X99 and X79.

X99: i7-5820k, i7-5930k, i7-5960X (and some Xeons which are also LGA2011 rev3)

 

Best Chipset for an i7-6700k would definitely be the Z170.

• NCASE M1 • i5-9600k • GTX 1080 FE • Z370N-WIFI • SF600 • NH-U9S • LPX 32GB • 960EVO •
