MSI Z270 Motherboards Automate Core i7-7700K Overclock to 5.20 GHz
The "Game Boost" overclock automation feature the UEFI setup program of MSI Z270 motherboards, apparently is successful in overclocking Core i7-7700K processors to 5.20 GHz with liquid CPU cooling. Most motherboard vendors include some degree of automated overclocking with their motherboards, which let overclocking novices squeeze a little bit of extra performance out of their CPU and memory without having to tinker with settings they know nothing about. These technologies use automated trial-and-error overclocking and stability testing over multiple reboots, to achieve a somewhat high overclock setting that takes system stability and temperatures into account.
The highest automated overclock setting of MSI "Game Boost" within its UEFI setup program of the company's Z270 XPower Gaming Titanium motherboard is having success in getting the CPU to run at 5.20 GHz. The program presents the user with 11 grades of overclock. At its highest grade, the program pushes the CPU all the way to 5.20 GHz, with 52x 100 MHz multiplier/base-clock setting, a vCore voltage of 1.507V, vDIMM of 1.2V, and disabled C-states. Keeping this overclock stable, however, took AIO liquid CPU cooling.

Also it seems that OCing this cpu is really luck of the draw. Here's a quote form hardocp (where they previously tested 3 different 7700k)
Completely irrelevant for people who need a 24/7 frequency. 5Ghz at 1.35v though would be much more tangible, if the CPU could do that of course.
I only plan to keep the CPU probably for 2 years max anyways.
Upgrading CPU every 2 years is pointless.
and people will say my board is good i can push like that automatically no need more sweat
just turn it on then your pc will get faster than before :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::rockout:
What a success...
