Hey, as the title states I hit 5.2GHz overclock on my i5-7600K today, with the MSI Z270A gaming pro carbon mobo.
Was wondering if it really is possible and if I might've not really reached it, as I've only seen statements of 5GHz max.

My core voltage was raised to 1.355
CPU Base ratio to 52
Anything over, it would crash.

ran AIDA64 For 43 minutes, it was steady the entire time.

All cores averaged at 5198.

Temps never reached 65.

0% thermal throttling.

Did I win the Silicon lottery?
Any input?

According to the stats in the following link, the median Kaby Lake OC is 5.1 GHz and 1.36 V, so your CPU is definitely better than most but not unreasonable.
