New world record when Core i9-13900K was overclocked to 9GHz

New world record when Core i9-13900K was overclocked to 9GHz

Until about two months ago, the world overclocking record was 8.72GHz. The record has been topping the charts since the summer of 2014, when Finnish overclocking team “The Stilt” chased AMD’s FX-8370 with an astounding frequency. When it finally came time to hand over the baton, it was Sweden’s “elmor” overclocker and Intel’s Core i9-13900K that grabbed a new world record of no less than 8812.85MHz.

Now both the overclocker and the processor are on the move again with a new world record. Together with Asus and the ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard, they both broke their own record by less than 200MHz and exceeded the 9GHz limit, more precisely 9008.82MHz.

As usual with extreme overclocking, exotic cooling solutions appear, but not the common liquid nitrogen in the radiator. Instead, it was replaced with liquid helium and the processor was confirmed to have successfully cooled to temperatures as low as -250°C. Like the previous record, only one performance core reaches the frequency and all power-saving cores are disabled. The voltage is reported to be 1.326 volts, but no power output is indicated.
