i have a 7 year old rig which i am planing to upgrade,well right now these are the specs.

cpu : amd phenom x6 , cooled with 212 evo
mobo.:asrock killer 990fx
ram: 8gb (4x2) Kingston hyper X
gpu; Asus gtx 960 4gb oc@1400mhz
psu; corsair cx500

i have decided to buy an i5 6600k and i am looking for a good motherboard to overclock the new cpu ,but i have no idea how much oc i can get with the current heatsink, ill appreciate if some one can tell how much oc i can achieve with 212 evo,

Pro is a good mobo. With your CPU 3200 is the sweet spot for price to performance, I'd go with the GSkill RipJaws V or Trident Z, have used a number of sets of both, great sticks with OC headroom ;)

My suggestion to you would be the same motherboard i have : Gigabyte GA-Z170-GAMING K3-EU and i5 6600K that i overclocked to 4.4GHz straight from the BIOS. My CPU is running at 1.248V and my graphics card is ASUS DUAL OC 1060 6GB. For CPU Cooler i use Thermalrights HR-02 but of course if you said that you want to use your 212 then use it! :)
