So I was thinking about getting the i5-8600k and pairing it up with a noctua nh-d15 cooler and overclocking to around 4,8-5ghz. The question remains, is an msi z370-a pro enought for it? It just seems like a very good mother board for the price.
Currently own that motherboard with an i7-8700k at 5.2 Ghz all cores.
Yes the motherboard is sufficient for overclocking and its BIOS navigation features are quite easy to follow intuitively.
Should have no problem hitting 5 ghz with that i5 chip.
For that cooler the chip might get real warm at 5 ghz running prime95 thou.
