Had it a few months now on maximus viii hero with a gtx 970 and h100i cooler. Feel like I'm doing myself a disservice not over clocking! If so what speed should I try and reach thanks.

You may also buy a K CPU for the following reasons:

1) Higher stock clocks
2) Higher base overclock
3) Higher resale Value

i7-6700 - http://ark.intel.com/products/88196/Intel-Core-i7-6700-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_00-GHz

i7-6700k - http://ark.intel.com/products/88195/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz

Higher epeen might be a reason as of course is the Overclocking potential, but just so you know. :)

Fair point but my post was tongue in cheek;)
