This result marked a new milestone in the history of CPU overclocking, beating the previous record held by Elmor by 4 MHz.
The record was achieved on the Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard with 16 GB DDR5 RAM. All power-efficient processor cores were disabled and Hyper-Threading was disabled to achieve maximum frequency.
The system was running Windows 7, an unexpected choice for such a test.
Intel Core i9-14900KF is a 24-core processor with 8 high-performance and 16 energy-efficient cores that can overclock up to 6 GHz out of the box.
Supercooling using liquid nitrogen and a voltage of 1.387 V was used to achieve the record frequency.
