I haven't found anything about OC on that board either. However, I think your CPU is great for overclocking—it still works well today even with an 8700k, though there might be some stutter. If you have a chance in the future, consider moving those components to a better motherboard so you can fully utilize your 1070 and 2600k! For suggestions, please post in the motherboard section with your parts listed there.
