Hi there everyone, I'm curios to know without having to do my own research hehehhehe whether or not Intel's 8th gen motherboards will support a 6th generation processor. I know that 8th gen will be on the LGA 1151 socket, but I have heard rumors that Intel wont allow support for previous gen processors on its new boards.
I currently have a 6th gen i3 6100 in one of my PC's, but the board that I got with it was faulty and I didn't want to go through the horrible process or claiming warranty or RMA. (well thats what you get for buying a $25 motherboard)
I just wanted to know whether I could replace my current motherboard with a new 8th gen one soon, and If by any chance I would be able to BCLK overclock the i3 6100 like you could with select BIOS'S and boards on Z170 with the new 8th gen boards.
Let me know what you think,
Cheers
