Cool Menthol !
I hope you get it working soon, I'm as anxious to see your results as you are to overclock it. 🙂

I just received 2 processor from a guy at Intel, the first thing I do is to try it out on my motherboard to see how those processors work.
The first thing I noticed that my Z170 TUF only recognize 8GB of 2133mhz ram, with XMP in the BIOS is turn off, and my motherboard won't be able to start with XMP on, when I change my CPU back to 6600K everything is back to normal, I try another CPU and motherboard and got the same result.
I can't change the VCORE, i can't turn on the XMP, the BIOS version is 2202 - the latest BIOS from ASUS website
My motherboard:
Maximus VIII Formula
Z170S Sabertooth
B150 Progaming D3
The ram i have used:
- ADATA XPG DDR4 2133 - 16GB
- HALL OF FAME DDR4 3600 - 32GB
- AVEXIR CORE DDR3 - 16GB
- Gskill Ripdraw DDR4 2400 - 32GB
Still the same result, have ASUS got any idea about how to fix this problem because i have been told that ASUS already knew this 3 weeks ago? Thank you!

Update the bios to the 3000 series and your Kabylake system will be fully functional, bios 3007 for my M8E did the trick

An 8+2 Power Phase design on a 300-400$ motherboard is a joke to me.
We will talk about the doubler a little as they are commonly used today in the phase wars. They basically are like a multiplexer which takes a single PWM signal and divides that signal into two, however it also reduces the maximum switching frequency by half...This can lead to much better thermal distribution which will decrease the stress on each phase. However there is another operation mode in which all the phases are pulsed on, and in that operation mode the doubled phases have half the load on them as they would if there were half the number of physical phases. Sometimes it is required to pulse all phases because of a huge current step, then you need all the power you can get as fast as you can get it, and turning on the phases is the best way to do this. Otherwise in normal modes of operation it is useful to use only a single phase at a time.
So how many phases does your motherboard/GPU have? No more than 8.
8 is the largest number of phases that any PWM controller currently used in computers can produce. So how do we have VRMs with 10 12 14 16 20 24 and 32 phases? Doublers. Doublers are are specially ICs that take one PWM signal and split it into 2. In the process they cut switching frequency in half but they do give you more phases so you do get the extra current capability and get lower operating temps but don't gain anything in terms of voltage ripple suppression. Another trick motherboard manufactures use that I hate is putting stuff in parallel. There is a good way to do it where they put extra MOSFETS in one phase which basically creates a "super phase" if they are using high end MOSFETs but more often than not they double the number of inductors. This means that inexperienced buyers who count inductors to get phase counts can easily be fooled into thinking that a board has 8 phases when in reality it only has 4 but with each phase having 2 inductors. having 2 inductors on 1 phase is completely pointless. It does nothing that a single inductor couldn't do other than looking more complex than it is.
