Hey Guys I need you help on my newly build gaming pc. Is there something that I need to do first before overclocking the i5 6600k on a AsRock Fatal1ty K4 Motherboard because of the different generations. Also how do I overclock it, please give me some tips and things to avoid or keep in mind while overclocking. I do have a CM Hyper 212 Evo cpu cooler. Thanks!!!

Well, I recommend you buy a good third party cooler (which you must have done considering it's a "K" version).
Some people also like to place copper on their motherboard MOSFETS to keep them cool and provide safer overclocks. (Here's an example of some copper heat sinks: https://goo.gl/ut8z7X)
