Overclocker bathes Core i7-8700K in LN2 and doubles clockspeed to 7.4GHz

Well, that did not take long. An overclocker has taken a Core i7-8700K processor and cranked it all the way up to 7.405GHz using a healthy dose of liquid nitrogen cooling. While obviously not practical outside of chasing records, the impressive overclock effectively doubled the chips stock clockspeed.
At stock, the 6-core/12-thread Core i7-8700K has a base clockspeed of 3.7GHz, and max Turbo frequency of 4.7GHz. HWBOT user Kovan Yang blew way past both speed limits, hitting the record frequency (for now) for a Core i7-8700K CPU. Previously the record for this same processor sat at 7.3GHz, achieved by der8auer.
