I have a MSI Z270 Gaming M3 and it can handle 5.2 with a i7-7700k I know those processors are different but could it be done safely with a motherboard like this?
 
Solution
A few things to keep in mind. The motherboard is only one, small, part of the overclock machine, far more important is cooling. Yes, you can run a 6700k @ 5.2. It probably won't be stable, and you'll want liquid nitrogen for the attempt, but it can be done.
