They raise the frequency of the new Intel Core i7 8700K processors from the Coffee Lake family, up to the frequency of 7.4GHz, through extreme cooling with liquid nitrogen.

Intel Coffee Lake processors are already on the market. These processors are a 'simple' upgrade from the Kaby Lake processors, with more cores, to compete with the AMD Ryzen processors. We know that these processors are not compatible with motherboards for Kaby Lake and Skylake, due to the modified pin structure, to add more power to the processor, in order to feed the extra cores. Well, they have raised the frequency of the Core i7 8700K to 7.4GHz in all its cores and it has been cooled with liquid nitrogen, how could it be otherwise.

We highlight at this point that the Core i7 8700K has six cores and twelve processing threads, working at a base frequency of 3.7GHz. The modification of the frequency assumes that this processor has been taken to twice its base frequency. It is not easy for a processor with so many cores to reach this frequency, which indicates that the 14nm ++ manufacturing process is highly refined and perfected and not only gives an excellent result, it also shows virtually unprecedented potential for overclocking. .

To reach this frequency, the MSI Z370 Godlike Gaming motherboard has been used, a DDR4 memory kit, which have not been specifications and an NVIDIA 8400 GS graphics card (these graphics are used so that they do not generate hardly any load on the processor. To reach this factor, the voltages have been modified, the multiplier has been reached at x73 and the Bus Speed ​​has been raised to 101.44MHz. For the domestic sector, AIO liquid cooling is fine, this processor can reach 5.0GHz stably without major problems.
