Discussing boosting performance on the Z170 board with Kaby Lake.
Hey everyone, do you know if you can overclock the Kaby Lake i5-7600k on a Z170 motherboard like you could with a 6600k? Also, would it be better to choose a 6600k instead of a 7600k and push it to its limits rather than getting stuck at the 7600k? Thanks in advance.
performance-wise a 6600K and 7600K at the same clock speed should be the same. therefore i would just choose a 6600K since it's probably more affordable. with a BIOS update you should be able to use any kabylake chip, but i wouldn't bother. if you're looking to overclock, i wouldn't expect a locked chip.
