overclock i5 6600
Overclocking the CPU isn't possible on that board. You'll need a Supermicro board or a Z170 board to achieve Skylake overclocking. ASRock planned to release H110/H170/B150 boards with overclocking capabilities but has chosen not to.
I was thinking about whether upgrading from an i7 3770 to an i5 6600 made sense, especially since the i7 has more cores and hyper threading while the i5 is simpler. This was mainly for gaming purposes.
It was a somewhat unusual decision for performance. You're correct that most games don't fully utilize the i7's additional threads, though some do (BF3 and BF4 are older examples and many others now offer better scaling). The i5-6600 provides a bit more performance per core to compensate, but it wasn't really an improvement. That would require the i7-6700K or i7-4970K, mainly due to their higher stock clock speeds (though not necessarily overclocked).
The i7 model has four cores with Hyper-Threading for LGA 115x sockets, while the i5 has four cores without Hyper-Threading (except a few Nehalem-based versions on LGA 1156). The only 8-core i7 available on LGA 2011.
I've seen some videos comparing the i5 6600 to the i7 3rd gen, AMD Ryzen 5 8350, and it seems they outperform the i7 4790K in gaming, though the multi-core performance is mainly for editing or Adobe tasks. I think I should wait for AMD Zen. This is it... Hey, do you know how to overclock the ASUS Strix 970? It's an OC version and I'm pretty new to it.
The i5-6600 does beat the i7-3770 in most games, but not by much in modern games is all I'm saying. It was a small upgrade overall.
Waiting for the next product is always a good thing if you want a better deal, but honestly, by the time Zen comes out then you can wait for the next generation from Intel (Cannonlake I think) and it goes on and on... Zen is still a ways off, so don't sweat it.

bros so there is no need to buy big cards or cpu..money waste.dont buy..as we know all games are depend on graphic card ..if we are using 2 way or 4 way still graphic card doesnt preform well there is no need to waste money........big company are making money...it is cat mouse game....in the game there is flickering problem texture pop in ...black screen.problem. next day they will release a patch nd the patch wont work.....now they are working on hbm2 ...nd then dual gpu pascal...
witcher 3 or assassin creed syndicate texture pops in continuously.....it is like gpu is reading slowly...we pay so much money if game not working this is bad....u pay for good not for bad....it is happening with every card 980ti water cooled with 24 cores cpu etc...the game devoloper eating our money..or they are clueless...
2-way SLI and Crossfire generally perform well, but many games from this generation struggle due to features that were once used for performance gains but no longer work smoothly across multiple GPUs, except in 3D. In the previous generation, it functioned quite effectively for most titles. HBM offers better performance compared to GDDR5 and HBM2 is likely even superior. I believe there aren't many 24-core CPUs available, with most examples limited to around 18 cores for Intel and 16 for AMD. These configurations are largely irrelevant for gaming purposes.
