Is there a motherboard that can give me a stable overclock for i7 7700k? I’m using a cooler master hyper 212 eco. If I need a upgrade let me know.

Every chip is different so I cant tell you, some people do it no problem others have issues. Again it comes down if you win the chip lottery. Also be aware that overclcok that high will probably gain you 0 performance gains in gaming. If you arent hitting the ceiling on the stock speeds then overclcoking wont boost performance.
The 212 Evo is the bare minimum for cooling a 7700k, if you want to overclock youll need something a bit better and beefier. As far as what motherboard to get, any Z270 board will achieve an overclock, it more comes down to if you win the CPU lottery and get a chip that can be overclocked to its limits.
