Kaby lake in h110 motherboards?

[joaomgp]

Does the new kaby lake cpus work 100% well with a h110 board?

i want to pair an i5 7500 with an Asus h110m-a/m.2 and i want to know if it will have any kind of problems..

a friend of mine told me to save money with the motherboard and buy a simple one because it doesn't affect performance

It will if it has shipped from the ASUS with a bios version of 3016 or higher to a reseller/retailer.
It is possible to receive one that has an incompatible bios if it was old stock.
I would buy one from a retailer/reseller that will allow you to return it within a set number of days, no questions asked and no restocking fees if possible.

It might need a BIOS update to support the Kaby.

the only problem is you have to update the mobo bios into the latest version in order to make kabylake cpu compatible with H110 board.

H110 board can't use 2400 MHz memory, only 2133 MHz. Other then that, kaby lake works fine with it; HOWEVER such boards usually need BIOS upgrade BEFORE it can be used with such CPU. And you can't do that yourself unless you have skylake CPU at hand.

it would work 100% if it has the right BIOS version. the H110 chipset came out with the 6th generation CPU's so it would need a BIOS update to support any 7th gen CPU's and odds are very slim 7th gen CPU's would work right out of the box with a mobo with that chipset

h110 motherboards need a bios update to use KabyLake cpu. The problem is, you can't update the bios of h110 motherboards unless you have skylake cpu lying around. You might end up spending more money if your motherboard is unable to run KabyLake. So either buy a cheap b250 motherboard, or buy a h110 motherboard with updated bios. In the latter solution, check thoroughly if the motherboard says it supports KabyLake cpus or not. If you don't find KabyLake support in the motherboard description, just skip it. The safest option is to buy a cheap b250 motherboard.
