Squeezing extra performance out of hardware by messing up the settings is something many Quicklockers users do happily, but traditional overclocking is becoming increasingly difficult. AMD and Intel offer their processors with high and advanced frequencies Strengthen– Algorithms that are hard to compete with. Now it is clear that the situation is different when it comes to extreme overclocking, when an eight-year-old record is being defeated.
In the summer of 2014, the Finnish overclocker “The Stilt” scared us off AMD’s FX-8370 to 8.72GHz, a significant increase from the base version 4.1 GHz. Since the unveiling of the Intel Core i9-13900K, a new world record has been hanging in the air, because the processor giant is already in its overclocking lab in Israel making the speed up to 8.1GHz. Thanks to this special processor, Swedish overclocking maker Jon “Elmor” Sandström . has achieved Log level 8.81GHzor 8,812.85 MHz to be exact.
As expected, such a feat is not something that takes place in the blink of an eye and the process towards recording is documented in a two-hour video online. overclocker website and youtube channel. As usual, cooling is also required beyond the norm, as it “elmor” pairs the Core i9-13900K, 32 GB DDR5 memory and the Asus ROG Z790 Apex motherboard with liquid nitrogen, to a temperature of about -195 ° C. Windows 7 and software tools to install on the base clock and multiple It is also part of the arsenal.
As with the previous record, only one of the processor cores managed to reach the standard frequency. In this case, the energy-saving cores are turned off, while seven of the eight powerful cores are locked at 3 GHz. The voltage is reported to be 1.325 V but the power output is unknown. In any case, it is clear that the overclocking world now has a new master on the block, and it remains to be seen if the Core 13000 series will deliver more world records in the future.
Remember when the FX-8370 record was set? Do you think “elmor” is secure with 8.81GHz, or is a full 9GHz maybe within reach?
