Testing performance improvements by increasing clock speeds on a Z270 motherboard with an Intel i5 6600K processor
Hey there! For your new gaming PC, make sure you check compatibility before boosting the i5 6600K on the AsRock Fatal1ty K4 board due to generation differences. When it comes to overclocking, here are some tips: follow recommended settings, monitor temperatures closely, and avoid extreme voltages. Also, using your CM Hyper 212 Evo cooler should help maintain stability. Let me know if you need more details!
Well, I recommend you buy a good third party cooler (which you must have done considering it's a "K" version).
Some people also like to place copper on their motherboard MOSFETS to keep them cool and provide safer overclocks. (Here's an example of some copper heat sinks: https://goo.gl/ut8z7X)
