Just looking for a cheap mobo for mild overclock.. I do a lot of pc work but not much high end stuff so don't really know what's good and what's not... Any suggestions?

I had one of these and it did 4.6GHz on a 6600k with ease: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...151-ddr4-micro-atx-motherboard-mb-532-gi.html

Few nice high end Gigabyte boards at discount on the B Grade section of OCUK, still get warranty with the company after the 90 days I believe. Most of their boards have Thunderbolt 3 standard as well if you need for work.
Asus boards pop up now and again at heavy discounts but go quick!
ASRock do good quality boards for a lot less then others , bit buy from OCUK for the RMA side of things

Anything with a z170 chipset, just get whatever is cheapest.

I did that in the end, well second purchase - I accidently ordered a h170 (or something like that) first

why not get a new 270 chipset, work with skylake and bit more future proofed?
