Doesn't matter, it'll be fine.

It's listed.

 

NCASE M1 V5

Get a 240mm rad instead, you want the cooling

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

IIRC it just needs a BIOS update

i thought it was just if using a 7th gen cpu on a 6th gen motherboard could be fixed with a bios update not the other way round. i may be wrong

No, its the 7700k on a Z170 board that may need it. Z270 boards will accept a 6700k just fine.

For the OP, I would vote going with a 240mm AIO since that case accepts them and youd get much better overclocking with that.
