X51 R3 - i7-6700 is it possible to OC CPU higher than 3.4 without water cooled system?
I have the X51 R3 with a i7-6700 CPU but not the water cooled version.
After loading into bios I didn't see any options to overclock the CPU in the OC section or any other menus for that matter.
Is this possible with non-water cooled systems? If so, how can I do this?

Hello! Unless your processor is a K variant you cannot overclock it as it is locked by Intel.

if you find a way please tell me.. as far as I can see you need a 6700K for ability to overclock..
I got my X51 with the 970 and 6700 .. don't really need much more speed.. other then SSD .. to be honest
