I had an intel i5 6600k, i sold it for a i7 7700k. My mobo is a gigabyte z170x gaming 3, 2x8 gb ddr4 ram. With the older cpu i could run in dual channel but with the i7 7700k i cant, it try to run but... Nope. So i have to run with two rams in single channel.
The question is... Is better buy a new hardware like i7 8700k (or i9 9900k) with the new mobo z370/390... Or better only buy a z270 mobo. (I think the z170 is the problem to run in dual channel)
