I understand that the z170 motherboards require a BIOS update to function with 7th gen Intel CPUs. So I assume that if I want a 7th gen i5 such as a 7600k, I will need a z270 motherboard.

So, I am going to build a new PC soon, and I have been considering buying an i5-6600k and an MSI Intel Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon. However, since the i5-7600k is now available, I would like to use this alongside an appropriate motherboard.

Is there a z270 version of the MSI Intel Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon, with similar specifications?
 


Thanks, I was just checking that it was the closest alternative.
 


Is this also the case with the h170 and h270, for future reference?
