I would like to purchase this motherboard for a future gaming build (it's actually my first, and yes, I know, it's not a very fantastic board, but the price and my needs are just fine). One thing I realized a few months back is that with H110 motherboards, some require a BIOS update by flashing a older-gen CPU's BIOS, and updating to a newer BIOS so it can support the new gen. (Ex: Skylake to update to Kaby Lake compatibility.) The CPU I'm going to be using is, admittedly, weaker (this one) but it's the best for its price. THAT WOULD BE A TRUE STATEMENT, IF THE G4560 DIDN'T EXIST- as it is better for cheaper. However, it's a Kaby Lake. My board is an H110. You see the issue.
I can't afford to get a Skylake and Kaby Lake, and I understand that due to my limited options, I kind of need a resolution to this issue without having to purchase a weaker CPU for more. Which is ridiculous, but it's the spot Newegg has hustled me into.
TL;DR- Will the Kaby Lake work on the linked motherboard without BIOS flashing? If it does, friggin' FANTASTIC! IF NOT... well, I tried. Frick.
