November 29, 201114 yr Hey, Ben, send your 2700K my way for a couple of days just so I can be helpful and make certain it is a good one for you to keep! Kind regards,

November 30, 201114 yr Author Hey, Ben, send your 2700K my way for a couple of days just so I can be helpful and make certain it is a good one for you to keep! Kind regards,hehe...AFAIK, the 2700k's are just "cherrypicked" 2600k's with the clocks bumped up 100MHZ. -- SO, I would assume that higher overclocking would be capable with that in mind. I am planning on taking the 2700 up to 5GHZ.
