Hi guys ,i am sure that the 7600k fits a z170 board and what is the diffrence between a z170and a h170 can you overclock the proccesor on h170?

It will fit but you will need a BIOS update first. I do not recommend overclocking on a h170 but I do believe it is possible.

You cannot overclock on h170 but since you are going Kaby Lake you should get a z270 board becuase the 100 cannot support Kaby lake without a bios update which you can't do yourself without a CPU that works in the mobo.

You lose 4 PCIe Lanes, overclockability, and 2 USB3.0 ports with H170 compared to z170

Yes you can through a USB. I did it on an ASUS mobo back when I had a 4770k.

Not all of them.

Just check the specs and see if the mobo supports a BIOS/UEFI update through USB. Most motherboards I have seen have a single dedicated USB to do this. If it does then you will be fine.
