You'd need a CPU such as an I5-6500K to work with that Z170 board for overclocking.

Hello, I'm just starting with PC building and want to know if I can overclock my i5-6500 using the GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-GAMING 3 LGA1151 MOTHERBOARD. Your motherboard isn't designed for overclocking, but the CPU should be.

You'd need a K-cpu such as an I5-6500K to work with that Z170 board for overclocking.

Oh ok first, thanks guys. Also, would you mind confirming if the video I saw is genuine? I thought it might help after watching. Please check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK94qZLW1VI
