i dont get it? isnt 5.1ghz pretty standard for the 7700k?
Maybe if you turn off hyperthreading, but for the for the i5-7600k it's easily reachable and stable..

My impression of the 7700k was that 5ghz was very achievable without having to win the silicon lottery, hell the Asus ROG Z270 boards all but guarantee it

Marketing speak, from the
ars article"There are a few caveats to that performance—the biggest being that Asus
also supplied the i7-7700K for this review, which was likely binned from a large batch—but the company claims that
most decent unlocked Core i7 and Core i5 Kaby Lake chips will hit 5GHz between a reasonable 1.29-1.35 volts."
