7th gen CPU into 6th gen mobo???

Solution
If the motherboard was manufactured after the kaby lake supported bios update, the motherboard will work. However there are still some old one floating around the market so it's a game of luck.

If it doesn't have the right bios, you won't post. You will need to update it using a 6th gen CPU.

Some h110 motherboards, for example the ASRock H110M HDS R3.0, are guaranteed with a kaby lake bios.

There seems to be alot of old ones floating around because we still regularly get posts of people who have a 7th gen cpu and a 6th gen mobo having problems where it doesn't boot.
