I am building a gaming pc and I want to have a overclocked i3 so it would not bottle neck my RX 480, I have been told that currently the only way to overclock a non-K intel chip is to use a hyper series board that has a separate base clock generator so you can overclock using the baseclock instead of a multiplier. I am planning to use the ASRock B150 GAMING K4/HYPER in my build, everone says that this can overclock it, and so does numerous news articles following OCing non-K chips. But I am hesitant to buy it because the are no reviews videos or anything I could find on this board and even in the specifications it mentions nothing about a separate clock gen.

If some one could verify that this board can actually overclock a non-k chip that would be great, if not, does anyone have any other ideas for a good cpu that doesn't bottle neck a RX 480, and that is semi adorable 100-190ish?
Thank you
