I don't have a skylake processor to update bios, so I was wondering if I could run a i5 7600 on the supermicro C7H170-M motherboard out of the box

The answer is no out of box, also there is only 1 bios update on there website and it doesn't say if it adds support for kaby lake CPU's, so I wouldn't take the chance, get a 200 series motherboard. https://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/results.aspx

THere is several question on the web if SUpermicro C7H170-M will work on Kaby lake CPU.
YES IT WILL !!! Only on bios version R 2.0 which has new graphical interface like Gigabytes versions F20 or higher for Kaby lake support. OUt of box it will not work - you need to use SKYLAKE to upgrade bios.
After successfull bios upgrade press hard reset button on MB. Wait for 7 beeps - it will take longer to boot with new CPU but it will. I fully tested with Kaby lake i3 7100 3.9GHz - works perfectly fine - tested CPU-Z and benchmark inside window 7.
