I'm making a computer and I want to see if this compatible and yes I know it's over kill for my monitor but I will upgrade that later. Do I need a windows 10 key thing?  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H7qG2R

Since it's a K CPU, I'd get a better cooler. Go for a PCIe WiFI solution rather than a USB one.

Tbh only thing I'd do is go with a EVGA GS/G2/G3/GQ to save a bit of money and use that to get like a Phanteks P400/s or S340

The H7 will be able to handle up to ~1.35-1.36v while keep it under 80C at normal load.

You sure? 80C is a lot for Skylake..... I'd try to squeeze in a better cooler. And "normal load"? What counts as normal load? Gaming? Cinebench?

Skylake is fine up to 90C.. That leaves a 10C barrier to the point where the PC will shut itself down as Skylake shuts down at 100C. The H7 will be plenty, comparing to my 212 it should have temps of about 6-7C cooler and be MUCH quieter.

Overclocking? And considering he bought BeQuiet fans, maybe he wants a quiet system. An H7 on a 6700K will NOT be quiet.

But the H7 is quiet... And if silence meant anything to him the fan on the H7 doesn't mean anything as he could just buy a PWN 120mm BeQuiet! Pure wings 2 fan to put on it

Not on the extreme speed you'd need to push on the fan to keep the CPU at 80C. Also, why the fuck would he buy a 34 dollar cooler, just to slap an 11 dollar fan on it? Just buy a 45 dollar cooler. It gives you more raw metal and heatpipes, rather than a slightly better fan.
