I just completed assembling my first custom PC, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The components I have are:
i5 6600k
Gigabyte GA-H170-HD3
H100i v2 cooler
Windows 10
My main concern is whether it's feasible to overclock the CPU on this board. I'm unsure if I've made an error by choosing the H170, even though EasyTune seems available, but I haven't managed to get it to work on Windows 10 during my attempts. Thank you in advance for your support.

Use a Z170 board to boost the 6600k performance.
