Overclocking

Like previous generations, the Intel Core i7-7700K (Kabylake) is unlocked and also has flexible attributes in terms of the BCLK and ratio/multiplier. This makes the job of overclocking much easier.

Our current milestone is 4.9GHz with the Intel Core i7-7700K – our STRIX Z270F Gaming managed to achieve this overclock and even succeeded in delivering the result with a low voltage of just 1.31v. This remains one of the best results we’ve had so far and is testament to the Digi+ power delivery system and overclocking options (LLC) in the UEFI BIOS.
