Intel’s 14th Gen Core i9-14900K and i9-14900KF processors are causing a stir in the overclocking community, pushing the boundaries of clock speeds. The highest validated clock speed record now stands at an astonishing 9048 MHz, achieved by overclocker elmor, while SkatterBencher managed to reach an unprecedented 9.10 GHz during a live overclocking session.
These impressive records were established using the latest Intel Z790 chipset motherboards, designed with the 14th Gen processors in mind. Both overclocking experts applied a core voltage of 1.360 V and utilized extreme cooling methods to achieve these remarkable clock speeds.
Notably, SkatterBencher used liquid helium to cool the processor during the overclocking attempt, resulting in the remarkable 9100 MHz frequency. It’s worth mentioning that this extraordinary speed has yet to be officially validated, as CPUID is currently working on improving the validation process of CPU-Z to ensure accurate clock speed reporting. However, until the 9.10 GHz record is confirmed, elmor proudly holds the top spot on the leaderboard with their impressive 9048 MHz achievement. The overclocking community continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible with Intel’s latest processors.
Elmor Labs is a company that specializes in developing hardware and software solutions for overclocking and performance tuning. The company was founded by Nicklas “Elmor” Elmquist, a former employee of ASUS and EVGA, who is well-known in the overclocking community for his expertise and innovations. Elmor Labs offers products such as the EVC2, a device that allows users to control and monitor the voltage of various components on their motherboards, graphics cards, and memory modules.
