A well known overclockers, Der8auer and Dancop managed to break the 7.0GHz barrier on Core i7-6700K, pushing it to 7007.85MHz on ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Gene motherboard. While this was an impressive score, just a day later, HKEPC managed to push its own Core i7-6700K to 7025.66MHz, scoring another world record.

According to the CPU-Z validation page, Der8auer and Dancop managed to push the Skylake-based Core i7-6700K to 7007.85MHz (69x101.56MHz). The entire CPU was cooled by LN2 and the rest of the system included ASUS Maximus VIII Gene Z710 motherboard and 8GB of G.Skill DDR4 memory.

While the rest of the system is unknown, it is basically not important as this overclocking result is all about the CPU. Der8auer used a pretested 4.8GHz chip from Caseking.de and it appears that this a great one so hopefully we will see even higher results.

While Der8auer's result is quite impressive, just a day later the record was broken as Chi-Kui Lam, also know as HKEPC, managed to push its own Core i7-6700K to 7025.66MHz, running on ASRock Z170M OC Formula motherboard.
