Do you want to have a really powerful CPU? Our Elkim overlocker will test for you several pieces of Intel Core i7-7700K. With that you can get up to 5.0 GHz.
This piece of silicon has been thoroughly pre-tested with our Elkim extreme overclocker, guaranteeing a maximum frequency of 5.0GHz when using all of its 4 cores and 8 threads.
A silicone lottery? One of the main features of today's processors is that no two pieces are the same. The differences in the final frequency after overclocking amount to hundreds of MHz above the base frequency. While one CPU doesn't get past the maximum of 4.8GHz, a different one can achieve up to 5.3 GHz.
Elkim tests our processors thoroughly to find their limits.
Thanks to our professional approach and years of experience, we are the only ones on the market to offer guaranteed OC processors.
Hi, my job consists in finding hardware limits and pushing them forward. And I do that using even the most extreme methods of cooling, such as liquid nitrogen, which can reach up to -196°C.
The combination of well-chosen components is the basis for high frequencies. You can read our tips on how to achieve the guaranteed clock rate further below.
A powerful cooling is the alpha.
This processor has been tested and cooled using the NZXT Kraken X62 .
A quality thermal paste is equally important. We recommend the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut or Kryonaut.
Top processors deserve the best components! The differences in voltage:frequency demands of various motherboards can amount to dozens of millivolts. Based on years of experience, I would recommend the mid-range to high-end models from the Republic of Gamers line by ASUS. We test our CPUs on the ASUS MAXIMUS IX APEX .
A quality power supply plays the lead! A good and stable voltage for your motherboard makes a world of a difference. We test our top CPUs on the Seasonic Prime 1200w Platinum. When it comes to power supplies, it is not so much their total capacity that matters but rather their quality and overall design. For overclocking, I personally recommend the Seasonic power supply. The latest Prime series is especially good for the purpose of overclocking.
In order to achieve the guaranteed clock rate, it is imperative to follow our tips as close as possible. Keep in mind that you may fail to achieve the guaranteed frequency with an imperfect combination of components. The differences in the motherboards amount to dozens of millivolts, which goes hand in hand with the increase in processor temperature and the demand for cooling as well as the overall performance.
If you fail to achieve the desired perrformance, you can contact us via e-mail.
If you keep failing to achieve the desired results even after consulting with us, we will replace your CPU for one that will help you achieve them :).
Intel Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductor circuits and related components, powering a large share of the world's computers, devices, and machines with their powerful and reliable processors. One of the most established and successful companies to come out of Silicon Valley, they've been a driver of the technology revolution ever since.
Intel employs over 96,500 employees worldwide and is one of the biggest and richest companies in the world. For decades, their slogan was "Intel Inside"; however, they replaced with the more dynamic "Leap ahead" in 2005, signalling a renewed commitment to innovation.
