i5 6600k non Z170 mobo

[Staskw09]

I am planning to use the i5 6600k with a Gigabyte H110M-S2PV DDR3 for about a month or two until i eventually got the money for a z170 and DDR4.is there any issue with that configuration?

Nope the i5 6600k will work fine on it, you just can't overclock on it, but I guess you figured that out already 😛

Also keep in mind upgrading to an other motherboard means to reinstall windows and it's drivers.

i would wait for the money then get the newer kurby lake and z270 mb. one issue your going to hit is trying to move your windows key from one mb to the new one. most times when you do a mb swap you have to reinstall windows.

What CPU do you have now?

It may be worth holding off for ZEN to come out. We don't have prices yet, but you might find a 6C/12T CPU for about the same price as that 4C/4T CPU.

That's roughly 2x the processing power (most games won't benefit, but some will, as will video edit/convert applications).

I still find the W10 transfer confusing, but many are claiming they can transfer to a new PC.

If it's W8 or previous this does not apply:

"This command uninstalls the product key, which frees the license for use elsewhere ...You are now free to transfer your license to another computer. "
