The cooler mounting frame remains consistent across LGA 1156, 1155, 1150 and 1151 variants. Essentially, a cooler that fits Coffee Lake will also fit Sandy Bridge. Focus on the case's CPU cooler space and the exposed VRM rather than overclocking.

Would you attempt to push the clock speed beyond the specifications of this motherboard?

Because it isn't designed for high overclocking and the VRM connections are visible.

VRM will be ready before your CPU. The P8Z68 Pro embodies what a solid Z68 board should have.

I discovered a budget used P8Z68 Pro board from Asus. It appears to be a better option for overclocking. Appreciate your help, Jurrunio.

Absolutely, even the typical P8Z68V works fine.
