Kabylake is too boring for a wink thread surely.
I can't remember seeing a wink thread in a while.

I've missed the wink threads.

Definitely not Zen, its bound to be Intel, with all the hype about monster OC's on the new Kabylake stuff thats a wave crest that needs to be ridden!!!

 

[StarShock]

It would be a heck of a thing if AMD could come out of nowhere with ryzen releasing this week. But I suspect it won't be that, likely we'll see the ryzen line up and maybe pricing, but prob not going to be on shelves till maybe Feb.

Kaby is meant to be coming 5th if the rumours are to be believed.

Monster OC?

 

[benjii]

Perhaps it's a winky for binned Kabylake chips.

 

[Legend]

100% this is Kaby... can't be anything else this early. If it were Ryzen, we'd have seen more concrete leaks by now.

 

[SiDeards73]

Monster OC?

Apparently? dont those Kabylake chips OC really well or something? dunno as im not overly interested in them myself.

As someone above said though, it may be for some 8Pack binned stuff coming soon?

If you can't get a delidded 7700K doing at least 5.5Ghz on water then cba.

According to some users on the harwareluxx.de forums LG643G214 and LG643G218 are from a good batch hitting 4.9+ at 1.2 VCC or lower. There is probably better still to come!

A few running at 5GHz @ 1.3.

Also news of delidded 7700k running 4.9 @ 1.375 VCC so not all are great as usual. batch number L638F814.

Unlikely. You're asking for 1ghz above stock. How many 6700k posted 5.2ghz on water??

VIA Cyrix IV?

pretty much all intel K series chips have done 1ghz + overclock for years.

This is a skylake refresh so it would be sensible to base expectations accordingly.

Does the 7700K have an RGB IHS? Not worth upgrading otherwise...

Zen or GTFO

 

[Orangey]

How many of the recent chips that have been hyped as clockers have actually panned out?

Seems to me Intel know they ain't got **** so seed rumours about moonclocks.

Is there a law of the Geekdom that dictates Gibbo needs to spill the beans within a certain time scale?

Gibbo, spill!
