[baha2]

hi
i am curious for which one should i upgrade over my i5 6500, also i want to know if i will fully utilize them with my mobo (specially the OC part)
P.S: recommenced cooler for them?

specs:
i5 6500
mobo asus h170m plus
2*4gb 2133 kingston ram
r9 280x gpu

The 6800k is not compatible with your mobo. The 7700k is the best cpu you can get on it but you can't oc on h170.

You can't overclock on that board but you would still benefit from higher clocks on 7700K vs a 7700.

I see no reason to spend more than a cryorig h7 when oc is not possible.

But its possible to OC a K CPU on H series mobos, but I think it lacks some features from the Z series mobos, right?
Plus I see in the bios settings some OC features but I can't really confirm since I never OCed a CPU before..

Absolutely no overclocking is possible.

Nope, not possible. If you try to change the settings, they just change back. You need a z.
