What is the best CPU you can install on a z170 motherboard?

[crazy_stuff]

What is it?

 

[BringerOfTea]

given you have a bios that support it, I7 7700K is generally the top preformer.

 

[InvalidError]

The 7700k is the official end of the line for the 1xx/2xx-series chipsets, though some people have gotten 8000-series CPUs to sort-of-work on them with a few BIOS and hardware hacks.

 

[The Paladin]

if your z170 board has an updated bios to permit running of the 7th gen cpus then 7700K if not 6700K
