Can you increase the clock speed of the i5 6600k using the H110-S2P VGA motherboard, or is it necessary to purchase a Z170 to enable unlocked 'K' CPUs?

You're right, unfortunately. Only Z170 chipsets are suitable for overclocking 'K' CPUs. To achieve this, you'd need a Z170 motherboard and a good cooling solution, since these CPUs typically require additional cooling beyond the standard included units.

You're right, unfortunately.
Only Z170 chipsets are suitable for properly overclocking 'K' CPUs.
To achieve this, you'd need a Z170 motherboard and a good cooler, since these CPUs typically don't come with built-in coolers in their original packaging.
