[ChrisTsall99]

Hello ,
I just want to ask if its possible for GA Gaming K3 z370 to post with an i5 6600 .
http://www.pc-specs.com/cpu/Intel/Core_i5_6th_Gen/Core_i5-6600_3.3GHz/2323/Compatible_Motherboards
This page says that it can post with an i5 6600 , is this legit ?

Just a note:

Please note: Z370 Motherboards are ONLY compatible with Intel 8th Gen 'Coffee Lake' CPUs. Although these Intel Z370 Motherboards share the same socket as Intel's 200 & 100 Series Motherboards, they are electrically incompatible & will not work with 7th & 6th Gen Intel CPUs.

I know some crazy people may have forced the socket to accept 6th Gen CPU's but that is not easy and requires a lot of workarounds...
