Hello all,
I currently have an Asus Z170A motherboard with a Skylake i5 6600k processor. I want to upgrade my CPU but NOT my motherboard.

I've heard I can use a Kaby Lake i7/i5 on my Asus z170a motherboard with a simple BIOS upgrade?

Would I upgrade to the latest BIOS? or do I have to upgrade to a certain BIOS version to get Kaby Lake functionality on a z170 motherboard?

Thanks so much in advance.
 
Solution
Every BIOS update after the one that included kaby lake support has kaby lake support, they don't remove kaby lake support on newer BIOS revisions. So yes update to the latest BIOS.
