MSI achieve several world record Z270 overclocks

  

 

The first overclock that we will be looking at is for WPrime, with BenchBros’ 6.7GHZ overclock becoming the world’s fastest quad-core CPU in this test. 

In this test, their CPU was using a multiplier of 67 and a base clock speed of 100MHz, with their DDR4 memory running at almost 3600MHz. 

 

       

 

For wPrime’s 1024M test BenchBros needed to lower their overclock to 6.63GHz in order to pass the test, finishing the test in 93.109 seconds, becoming the fastest Quad-core CPU on HWBOT. 

This overclock was achieved using a bos speed of 100MHz and a multiplier of 66, with their DDR4 memory running at 3600MHz. 

  
    

 

The first overclock that we will be looking at is for PiFast, with BenchBros’ 7GHZ overclock becoming the world’s fastest CPU in this test. 

In this test, their CPU was using a multiplier of 65 and a base clock speed of 105MHz, with their DDR4 memory running at around 3900MHz. 

  
       

 

In CineBench R15 the CPU maxed out at 6.77GHz, with a multiplier of 62 and a base clock of 107MHz. In this test, their DDR4 memory was running at 3865MHz. 

Again this ranks BenchBros’ i7 7700K as the world’s fastest Quad core CPU in this test, achieving a score of around 1500. 

  
          
  

From what we can see here Kaby Lake is an excellent overclocker when compared to Skylake in the professional overclocking scene, managing to easily smash previous records from the i7 6700K using pre-release BIOS software and early CPU samples.    

It is likely that these records will be broken as time goes on, especially as BIOS’ mature and Intel’s Kaby Lake 7700K CPUs finally hit the market. Let’s hope we can see some more world class overclocking in the near future from BenchBros and other pro overclockers.
