No, H boards do not support overclocking (not yet at least, we do not know the future but highly unlikely).

Faster you mean with higher frequency, lower cas, or both?

Thanks. Now about the memory. If I buy a 2133 ram, can I overclock it up? Or it's better to just get a higher frequency ram?

Is this an answer to the first question, or to the second? If for the second, then what is the asus better for?

Will I get 20% performance boost on my i5 6500 with a Z board? Also is asus z170-A a lot better than this gigabyte?

So I am going to purchase an i5 6500 with stock cooler. I have already requested an asus h170-pro motherboard, however I can probably change my order tomorrow. After watching many videos and discussion on this cpu, and the fact that games are going more and more cpu intensive, I am wondering if...

Do I need a cooler since I am not overclocking?

I am going to purchase a h170 motherboard probably because I do not intend to overclock, however I was checking some youtube videos about what will I be missing in case I would want to overcock in the future. The cpu is i5 6500. I can say the profit of overclocking had been extreme. However...

Is the H170 pro gaming much better than the H170 pro? It was 20 euros more expensive so I decided it is not worth to spend more. Is there any major difference other than the onboard audio (which I won't see any difference anyway)?

I am getting an i5-6500 and I can't decide which of these two motherboards should I get. The price is exactly the same. I would go the z series however my cpu will be locked anyway. Am I going to lose much with the 2133 locked ram frequency? Other than that I think these boards are pretty identical.

I decided not to get the cheapest motherboard, since I want the pc to be as future proof as possible and I want the mobo to last long. Can you tell me the difference between asus h170 pro and asus h170 pro gaming? I mean, the gaming version sure have colors and some features about games, but I...

Because in other forums people told me that this mobo sucks (dunno what to believe), I decided to throw some extra cash and get the asus h170 pro gaming. This must be surely quality one, or at least I hope.

Yep, if I end up getting this mobo I will get the 8GB version of corsair value. Will this be a good system overall? I am planning on upgrading my gpu in some months, I guess I won't have any issues placing it on this mobo.

The motherboard says it supports ram up to 2133MHZ. This seems to be the lowest frequency of ddr4 ram. Does this mean that if I get, let's say a 2400MHz or more frequency ram, the ram still will be underperforming since the frequency will be less than what is expected? Also, does the ram has to...

I am thinking of getting this mobo, is it a good choice? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B150M-A/
