[SOLVED] Will my Asus RoG Z370-H overclock 8600k to 5Ghz?

[frostmouth2]

I have recently build a brand new Gaming PC
CPU:Core i5 8600k
Mobo: Asus RoG Z370-H
RAM: Crucial Ballistic Sport 8Gb Ddr4 2666Mhz (Will upgrade to 16Gb 3200Mhz)
GPU:Rx 560 4 Gb ( will upgrade to AMD Navi 7nm)
HD/SSD: WD Black 2Tb with Kingston A400 240 Gb
PSU: FSP Hydro GE 650W 80+Gold
Cooler: Cooler Master M410P
Casing: Thermaltake C21 Versa

I wanted to Overclock my 8600k to Ghz on Z370-H when my warranty ends but I have just heard that Asus Z370-H has 6 power phases that is bad for Overclocking. The Z370-E and F versions have 10 or 12 and have frequent BIOS updates unlike the Z370 H version. Please someone help me out with this I am a complete newbie to Overclocking.

Can this be the solution? :

Yes , it's a 6 phase board , not really a high range overclocking board...Capable but not built for it.

Try it. 5.0 seems optimistic but you can try. If it doesn't work dial it back a bit. All OCing is trial and error and different systems give different results. I could not get a 5.0 oc on my Z370-E, but didn't really need the additional performance so stuck with 4.8.
