The place I ordered the processor from does it for me. They test hundreds of 7700k's and pick out the ones that are able to overclock the highest, and sell them for a premium (Binned chips). That's why you see in my order picture above the one I got is rated at 5.2 GHZ, which is what it was able to handle while staying under 80 degrees C. They then Delid it (An extra cost) and ship it.
