Not only is it capable of besting a number of Intel\u2019s higher tier enthusiast\/extreme CPUs, but it overclocks like an absolute beast \u2013 reaching 5.2 GHz on air overclocking<\/a> and, now, more than 7 GHz on liquid nitrogen.<\/p>\n The exact frequency achieved, according to KitGuru<\/a>, was 7007.85 MHz.<\/p>\n The system used to overclock the i7-6700K used 8GB of G.Skill DDR4 as well as Windows XP.

Just don\u2019t except to be picking up your 6700K anytime soon \u2013 not with the current price of hardware in SA.<\/p>\n In fact, you\u2019re looking at more than R6,500 for the CPU alone.<\/p>\n Intel rumoured to be working on 5.1 GHz quad core processor<\/a><\/p>\n Mainstream gamers no longer require discrete GPUs, says Intel<\/a><\/p>\n
