Does anyone have experience with obtaining highly overclockable CPUs without paying premiums to places like siliconlottery? What retailers are ideal for buying CPUs, testing their OC limit, then returning until you get a golden one?
Look for batch codes from confirmed OC on forums and buy a cpu from that pool.

But I don't have a pool

we were supposed to be together...

Please dont post on my thread
Microcenters have a very lenient return policy
Though they probably catch the same person buying and returning 20 cpus

My assrock mobo died and took my 6600k with it. Intel sent me a much better chip. 4.7 at 1.28 vs 4.6 at 1.35. i could probably push it even further if I fucked with it more.

When will this meme end.

tfw fx8350 can get 8 ghz
>>58371306
feel when my 6600k can't even do 4.5
feel when i'm 5'3
my processors are manlets too...

Send it back. $25 for a 48 hour turn around.

I don't think such a 7700k exists. The highest sane OC (ie. not liquid nitrogen, and not disabling some cores) so far is 5.2ghz
Kaby lake does not appear to have the potential of previous architectures, we probably won't see anything on the level of that 5.2ghz 6600k.
