Best mobo that will auto OC for i7 6700k?

I dont really get into OCing manually, whats a good option for an auto OC ATX board?

Best advice I can give you is to not use an auto OC motherboard, learn to do it yourself. That way you know it's stable, because "Auto OC" isn't always stable. From personal experience, I've used AI Suite II's automatic tuner and it was not stable. It turned my 6100 from 3.3 to 3.8 and was unstable. I did it myself, and I'm now sitting stable at ~4.2GHz. Don't let something auto overclock your chip. Every single chip is different.

I let my MSI board OC by 2500k CPU and RAM and its rock solid. CPU at 4.2 and ram at 1600. Maybe im lucky though.

At this point then, I'll let someone else answer, because I've never used auto overclocking other than that and I've stayed away from it since.

Best of luck to you man

The auto OCing generally done with generic software and tends to use higher voltages than are needed, which ends up with more heat than needed. A decent basic OC isn't that hard to do, raise the multiplier and add an positive offset to the vCore can often get to to 4.5 or so on a good mobo - I only build on Asus, the Rock and GB (and tend to use them in that order 😉 )

Ok, yeah i really dont like this MSI board, had lots of issues for a good long while till they eventually released a decent bios...
