How far will I be able to overclock my 8600k with my NH-15D? I´m not interested in water cooling since I wouldn´t be able to sleep tight at night while knowing fluids are in my PC. Also im not planning on delidding because I cant do that.

Its best air cooler. How far it can go? At least as far as any 240mm AIO and close to most 280mm AIOs (TR edition beats 280mm AIOs). If you want numbers, you need to test yourself. All chips are different. And how well mobo can OC also depends. You can look around what are average OC for that chip, but thats about all data you can get.
