Overclockers set new world record with 9GHz Intel Core i9-14900K

The Intel Core i9-14900K has arrived and professional overclockers have been quick to put the new desktop flagship to the test. Using a Z790 motherboard, a group of overclockers managed to set a new world record, pushing the CPU to a whopping 9,043MHz. 

To establish the new record, the team used liquid helium, which is gaining prominence over liquid nitrogen for extreme overclocking. This week-long project resulted in multiple world records for frequency, but not all were authenticated.

The team achieved an astounding frequency of 9043.92 MHz on the ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore, Asus's latest overclocking-oriented motherboard. This achievement marks the second time they topped 9GHz, both officially certified by CPU-Z, so there's no room for dispute. According to the HWBOT, the score is now the highest frequency ever recorded on a desktop CPU, but that could have been even higher. As seen in the video shared by Skatterbencher, the team was able to push the CPU to 9.1GHz, but unfortunately, it wasn't verified.

Elmor and his team have now surpassed their previous score from last year, which they achieved with a 13th Gen Core i9, to take the top spot in the HWBOT list.
