With regards to the bios, the way I see it with the updates is:

1) you're extremely lucky if the manufacturer is still putting them out. Take them whilst you can
2) a lot of older bioses (pre-2015/2010) weren't really made with linux in mind. They were made for windows based machines, so sometimes ...

CPU:
The i7-6700: IS ON THE LIST (from your link).

Thank God, the ...
