Posted May 22, 2017 I've been wondering if an Intel i5-6600k would work with a Z270 motherboard, because I'm curious if that would work to save me some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 22, 2017 a 6th gen cpu will definitely work on a z270 mobo, the other way around will need a bios update. So in your case it will work. also if you go to the manufacturers page for the mobo it will definitly stand there as well ~i5-7600k @5GHz ~Be Quiet!

Posted May 22, 2017 I think they can, the BIOS is already superior for Skylake "Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas -Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

The ryzen 5 1600 is the best cost to performance processor available at the market right now, if you manage a rock solid 4ghz across all its 6cores with the ram frequency running at least at 2933mhz you basically get an i7 6700 with more threads.
