Asus Rog Strix Z370-i gaming (the ITX version) VRM is designed for optimal power delivery.
The VRM can handle the 8600k/8700k overclock, but ensure it's properly designed and stable under load.
It varies based on your definition of overclocked. If you aim to boost an 8700K/9700K to 5GHz, you'll need a fan that efficiently moves air through the VRM heatsinks. Do you already own the board or CPUs?
For handling 5GHz at 8700kHz, ensure compatibility and proper setup.
