I’m thinking about boosting my i5-10600K, but I’m not very experienced with motherboards yet, so I’m unsure which ones would work.

Intel's VRMs aren't sufficient for serious overclocking. If you aim for that mid-range 180-200$ Z490 board, consider a more capable platform, as some entry-level models struggle with power delivery even at default settings.

Yes, a regular i5-10600 would likely remain stable under those conditions.

It would make sense because it would require similar specifications to the 10600K. Non-overclocking CPUs work best with B460 boards, though they limit RAM to 2666. Which country are you purchasing from? Is Ryzen available?

I reside in the Netherlands, though Ryzen might work technically. I prefer staying with this CPU because it fits my budget and gaming ambitions. Regarding memory speeds, some say you can boost both frequency and voltage via BIOS—this sounds reasonable if you're informed.

Z490 board support offers top performance memory. Intel locks it down to push buyers toward costly boards. Remember, the i5 gets hotter, consumes more power, and only edges out Zen 2 by a small margin in games at 2080 or 1080p with a 1440p resolution. At 1440p or higher, the i5 becomes irrelevant because even a Ryzen 3 3300X performs comparably. In most cases, the 10600K is justified only if you aim for 300fps in Fortnite. For other situations, a Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 7 3700X makes far more sense.
