I have a 6700k and my motherboard I ordered is on backorder. I'm really picky on colour scheme so I ordered the asus z170s sabertooth but it's out of stock now. So I'm looking at the msi z270 titanium cuz I believe that's the closest to a white pcb z270? Anyways is it just plug and play? Or do I have to have a Kaby lake processor to boot the board and set it to skylake first? (Like when you get a Kaby lake for a z170, you have to use a skylake to update bios for Kaby lake first.) Thanks
