So, what were the results of the OC Challenge? I see results on the screen behind the check, but they're hard to read. Looks like 5.4-ish GHz on air, and 8.4-ish GHz on LN2?
I'll have a write up of the event when I get a free minute at Computex! Note the on-air frequencies were actually using CLCs with LN2 vapour, reducing the ambient to sub-zero, so I doubt that 5.5 will be possible on air.

It's very washed out; but I think the LN2 numbers are ~6.4ghz. Google's showing ~7ghz as the record OC for a haswell CPU under LN2.DanNeely - Wednesday, June 4, 2014 - link
Confirmed. 5.5 and 6.4. The article is in German; but the table shown is from the event and in English.http://www.pcgameshardware.de/CPU-Hardware-154106/...

It looks to me like 6.331 GHz on LN2.Ian Cutress - Thursday, June 5, 2014 - link

And it only took two PCI slots, imagine what they could have done with three!Antronman - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - link
And yet all the records are obtained on Maximus VI Impacts, or Rampage IV Black Editions...
