KBL-X is probably going to be on the mainstream platform; I can't see them sticking a KBL die onto an LGA-2061 package, especially given that KBL has on-die graphics and only dual channel memory support.
That chart seems to indicate that X is on the E platform. Will there be a K KL at all for the mainstream platform?

The new Skylake-W will use Kaby Lake PCH and with a four-channel DDR4 ECC memory, but this will also be compatible with future platform Cannon Lake-W platform. Information is still displayed Skylake-W will use Socket R, which is pin LGA 2011 (but it seems to change to LGA 2061), while adding four-channel DDR4 memory configuration may mean Skylake-X will also maintain the Broadwell-E the same combination.
Kaby Lake-S won't be overclockable though. Kaby Lake-X, the successor to 6700K, won't be out until Q2 2017 according to recent leaks.
Just go with Skylake, IMO. No reason to wait for Kaby Lake.
It does to me since I would be getting a Z270 chipset with extra PCIe lanes and faster DDR4 support.
Besides its only 3-4 months away now, not long at all.

Below you can also see Noctua's upcoming NH-U12DX i4 cooler, which Noctua says will be compatible with upcoming AMD socket SP3 Opteron and Intel Socket P (LGA 3647) CPUs. This cooler is set to release in 2017 and has a mounting mechanism that matches the pictures LGA 3647 socket pictured below.
Meanwhile Colorful has showcased a very interesting design of its new B150 motherboard. It appears that it has GTX 1070 installed on the motherboard itself, occupying all PCI slots in the process. The motherboard still has two PCI expansions slots, which can be used for for SSD, Wifi module or anything that will fit into Mini-PCI interface. It also uses SODIMM memory slots.
This motherboard does not seem to comply to ATX standards, so Im thinking it might be used in some custom-designed barebone PC, which are becoming quite popular these days, and have been showcased at Computex by few companies.
Corsair demoed the Dominator Platinum series RAM to run at 4,400 MHz, through the use of companys DHX Cooling Technology. In order to ensure better airflow and cool down the RAM more efficiently, the Dominator will arrive with bundled airflow bracket.
On the other hand G.Skill showed off its Trident Z series of gaming RAM, which can run up to 45,00 MHz. According to the details on the packaging the timings for this gaming RAM are 16-16-16-36.
Corsair noted that both of its Vengeance and Dominator Platinum RAM will be available in the second half of June, however, G.Skill did not provide any specific information regarding the availability of Trident Z series. Also the prices were not mentioned by both companies.
That looks interesting and I probably would since that may be the card I want to upgrade to anyways. But that seems like a laptop board if it's built directly in. Seems cool, is this something they plan on releasing down the road for everyone?1.15 GHz makes them the highest-clocked Iris Pro 580-based CPUs right now (previously it was Xeon E3-1275M v5's 1.1 GHz). 1.325 Teraflops! 21% more iGPU grunt (single precision) than Skull Canyon's Core i7-6770HQ.

It was 7zip, actually, but your point still stands. Literally worked fine until I opened a file with 7zip, then everything went to shit. Wonder if maybe 7zip has some compatibility issues with Windows 10 that pushed it over the edge. Regardless, thank you for the clarification, if it's normal for these chips to top out around 4.2 on stock voltages then I won't worry about it. I had some friends tell me I should be able to go higher so I started getting concerned I had bigger problems.
Intel Optane technology platform with Kaby Lake
Well, if Kabylake isn't getting the Optane DIMM support then I have to wonder what exactly the improvement/native support is.
