Marketing. MSI doesn't send me samples, so there's no validation of those claims here.
It one thing to make a claim, then have an outside party repeat the results.

I get that your first sentence is in joking form. I am trying to get an eta on sharing some more info so thats why I am saying to hold tight
. that thing about the outside party repeating the results - NDA isn't up and IDK if testing boards are in hands of media yet, so its a bit premature

Yeah, joking. ;p
I do that testing and report in reviews anyway. IN EVERY SINGLE BOARD REVIEW. All Intel boards are tested @ 4.6 GHz OC. In fact, I could probably show you the email I sent to MSI saying that is how I test to begin with...I wonder how much that 4.6 GHz pulls...?
Because for me, that's only 100 W @ CPU with IVB, 125 W with SB, and 250 W with SB-E. And anyone using an AIO water cooler like H100 or similar does this "No Cooler airflow".
If my basic usage is "Military Class"...no wonder they don't send me boards.

They must of had a slew of cherry picked CPUs even. There is no guarantee every CPU will go to that speed let alone that motherboard.
