MSI Allowing CPU Overclockers To Hit 5.2GHz On Select Intel Z270 Motherboards @ Legit Reviews

It would seem that "more often than not" I'm given the run around at the MSI booth.  eg, sign up for a meeting/tour and my guide is nowhere to be seen so I get to do a self guided tour.  This year was even worse given the number of YT channels recording and basically pushing people out of the way so they can get the shot they want.  #effindivas

I did see the Z270 XPower on the wall but missed seeing it in action.  My bad I guess.

At CES 2017, MSI was presenting their hardware line-up that included the latest Intel 270 motherboards.  They had an interesting demo running the MSI Z270 XPower Gaming Titanium motherboard with an Intel Core i7-7700K processor at 5.2GHz.  Legit Reviews talked about it with MSI and CES 2017 and they stated that any Intel Core i7-7700K should be able to hit 5.2GHz on liquid cooling with a single click of their Gaming Overclock button within the UEFI.  That’s an impressive statement

5.2Ghz should be doable on Kaby Lake provided you can keep the CPU cool.  I was trying to hit 5.5Ghz on my phase and while the system would run it wasn't stable enough to complete my benchmark suite.  Maybe that was a product of the motherboard, we shall see.
