Extreme Overclocker, John Lam, pushed his Core i7-4770K right through the 7GHz barrier on his silvered Maximus VII Gene, with a final frequency of 7193.81MHz at a massive 2.048V under liquid nitrogen. Submitted as part of ROG's OC Showdown | Z97 competition, John scores himself the cool $1,000 prize, congratulations!

The new Maximus VI Extreme is already packing in the world records, including a 7GHz Core i7-4770K and 4-DIMM DDR3 at nearly 4GHz!

Andre Yang, a Core i7-3770K running at 6.992Ghz and the ROG Maximus V Extreme motherboard take the Super Pi 32M crown with a new world record of 4 minutes and 39.859 seconds.

At the ROG Camp in Berlin, Andre Yang has hit a new SuperPi 32M World Record of 4 minutes 42.656 seconds, for the Core i7-3770K at 7.013GHz (62 x 113MHz) using the ROG Maximus V Extreme motherboard and DDR3 at 2488MHz CL6.

After lessons learnt on day 2 with liquid Helium, day 3 ran smoother. Andre cracked on attacking SuperPi and Prime records at 7GHz while Raja and Splave controlled the pressure and quantity of liquid Helium respectively. We've put together a full gallery of all the days happenings.

Here are four more Maximus V GENE world records: SuperPi, PiFast, 3DMark & Aquamark.

About time you uploaded this, Andre! But what happens when next week's Computex announcements join the fray? June is going to be an interesting month for ROGers. We hope more of you Extreme OCers can get in on the 7GHz club!
