Hello. I'm checking if it's possible to significantly boost the performance of an i5 6600K using this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813132580. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! You'll need a Z170 chipset for this task. The Asrock Z170 Pro4 seems like a solid option.

What makes the Z170 necessary for overclocking?
It cannot be done with the B150 chipset.

It's clear that the B150 chipset isn't compatible.
Well, thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I've already bought the motherboard from Newegg. :/
Consider returning it if possible.
