Hi guys!

I am building a new pc and I would like your suggestions about my mobo choice. Guess what? My two choices are Asus z170 pro gaming aura and gigabyte z170 ud3 ultra.

Asus mobo: http://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/Z170-PRO-GAMING-AURA/specifications/

Gigabyte mobo: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5891#sp

I am an enthusiast so I also would like to overclock my cpu (which is i5 6600k) to 4,5 GHz with a nzxt kraken x61.

Does anyone have overclock this cpu at this frequency on any of the mobo.

They are the same price +-10$.

I have a preference for the Asus in the case that I planned on getting Asus Rog strix gtx 1070.

Thank you everyone!

Hi Blackbird,

I also have this board. I know some people have found bios which allows them to overclock non k skylake cpu. Have you come across any such bios for this board. Also how is the performance of this board thus far.
