The Core i9-14900K, Intel’s 14th Generation flagship, has just broken the world frequency record by clocking up to 9.1 GHz. New CPU releases are always accompanied by record-breaking performance numbers, and Intel’s 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh Desktop CPU is no exception. Several overclockers announced their OC exploits achieved with Intel’s freshest and finest processors today, but Elmor’s CPU Frequency run, in which he pushed the Core i9-14900K to unprecedented heights, stands out from the rest.
Intel Core i9-14900K breaks the record of its predeccessor from last year
Last year, Intel’s Core i9-13900K and Core i9-13900KS both broke the 8 GHz and 9 GHz CPU clock frequency barrier, which was a significant achievement in the overclocking landscape. And now, the Core i9-14900K is taking things one step further with Elmor pushing the chip up to 9.1 GHz on the latest ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore motherboard, which has been fine-tuned specifically to achieve some big performance numbers. Under liquid helium, the chip was running with only 8 P-cores activated and hyper-threading disabled, resulting in temperatures of less than 200 degrees Celsius.
Despite the fact that this was the maximum overclocked frequency attained, the HWBot standings showed a 9.044 GHz frequency obtained on the same motherboard. SUPERPI 32M from Freyama (Japan), Cinebench R20 from OGS (Greece), and a DDR5 frequency record of 11,614 MT/s from lupin_no_musume (Hong Kong) were also secured by ASUS. Overall, these records are incredibly astounding and reflect each overclocker’s overclocking expertise and talents, as well as how hardware is pushing the limit with each generation.
