German overclocker pushes Intel chip to high speeds

Prior to Intel’s reveal of its seventh-generation Kaby Lake desktop processors in early January, Asus held an Absolute Zero event challenging attendees to push the limits of those new Intel chips. German overclocker “der8auer” accepted the challenge and pushed the new Intel Core i7-7700K CPU to a clock speed of 7.3GHz (7,328MHz). That is rather high considering the chip has a max turbo speed of 4.5GHz right out of the box.
