At 1.195 volts? I don't believe that for a second.

This is the submission to HWBot and he did it in some Asus OCing event recently.

Feels like a "cool story bro" moment.

Im willing to bet there are no people on LTT that use LN cooling, much less using it for anything productive. It doesn't even prove anything like "what the best case is for overclocking on X chip" because they have very little basis in reality.

Give me "real world" overclocking info, I want to see an average chip hitting 5ghz on water with all cores on and then i will be interested.

I'm confident that we're going to see noticeably higher average clock speeds (5 GHz or so) out of the 7700k.

Intel may not have improved IPC, but they seem to have given us the option for more performance via higher overclocks. Then there's the improved 4k encoding on top of that. If they aren't priced too much higher than Skylake, I'd definitely go with a Kaby Lake chip if I were building a 4 core rig.
