Actually out of 4 cpus (one binned - 3 retail) All could do 5000 on air quite easily (also depends on the memory). One of those 4 did the 6G

Not really. :/ Teams spend time at: Events that are fully equipped Practice rooms before tournaments that are also fully equipped Gaming house that is also fully equipped Not sure how this makes sense but cool tech overall.

Wont say that just yet as I need to do more tests. In many cases tho, they seem to match B-die xmp's

Totally wrong. These are new Micron E-Die.

Thanks for sharing buddy! To provide some insight on this: a) the 4 sticks we got came from their EU distribution center and were unbinned and fully retail (so just a step before shipped to retailers in EU). b) first stick did 5620+ MHz and the 2nd 5726MHz. Still need to try stick #3 and #4 to...

"Old socket" without the extra pins could handle 7700K @6.8+GHz. This is many times the original power consumption (specs/stock). Now tell me that the old socket couldn't handle the extra 10-20~ Watts of the 8700K

To be honest I have not read all of the comments but I will speak based on personal experience. I have tested several motherboards with several 7700K's and I found out that my GB mobo was overvolting the cpu on default (VID would reach close to 1.38) compared to other vendors (+0.15v). Of...

ok so 7GHz 4c/8t shouldnt be a problem and you will see more in the future when more chips have been binned. ;)

Last time I checked, extreme overclocking (ex. Liquid Nitrogen cooling) was not your thing guys. Otherwise you would appreciate/recognize the importance of this vs skylake overclockability. Thats why your judgement and mindset is pretty much (unfortunately) "not on point". Sorry for being...

Seems like the "Overclockers' dream" overclocks worse than an average 7970 (clock/volt).

@W1zzard will LOD increase its performance? What about tessellation, can we disable it? Best April fools prank :D

Good point but the main issue is still the VRM, I dont think they can survive more than 1.55 V because even if they can, their freq will go down. I ran 290x @1.55v and high clocks, mentioning that because its different for the VRMs to run a card @Default clocks and with 1.5v than 1500 MHz and...

It isnt about the NEED of 750W its about being ABLE to offer that W on hi-end cards in case of need. Reference cards like 780, 780 ti, Titan, Titan Black, 290x, etc. have bad vrms, so that way you get higher clocks with voltage above 1.4-1.5v.

So bro, are u ready? Shall we participate? :D

Not really, but I think I can participate for Stage 1. Rest hw is really hard to find or @ebay if lucky
