Support for E3 1270v5 question about running chipset

[Derty]

Hello,

I have recently purchused an Xeon e3 1270v5 with a little hope to run this solution on a budget frame but I'm stuck with motherboard choice due to a lot of informations saying about e3 being very selectiable about chipset.
Hoped to attach it to mobo ecs-z170h4 as it had some insinuations about running v5 on z170 but on the other hand I'm not sure about that.
Would it work? And is z170 compatible as I found it could run some xeon processors but not possible to specify which due to lack of informations on the net, hence my question. Would that run and if not then what should be the choice (again opting for more expensive c232 and c236).
Situation is a bit odd because I already have and the processor and mentioned ECS mobo, and despite not running so far I'm not sure whether put more cost asking at some service to get it running or is it simply a bad match. Searching for somebody to say it for sure whether that's workable at all, and if not then what sort of support should I be finding for e3 1270v5. Thanks a lot.
