Question 1

will this work with a 6th gen motherboard or below?

Accepted Answer

Kaby Lake processors are compatible with 200 series chipsets as well as selected 100 series chipsets after a bios update.  You would have to update the bios with another processor before you install a Kaby Lake processor.  Furthermore, certain features such as Intel Octane Memory only work with 200 series chipsets.  Keep in mind that Kaby Lake processors are not officially supported by Intel or Microsoft for any Windows operating system other then 10.  If you choose to try, your on your own.

Question 3
