What just happened?<\/strong> We know Intel’s new flagship Core i9-13900K is a beast of a CPU, and now Asus has shown just what it’s capable of with the right people and equipment. A team of overclockers has pushed the chip to over 9GHz, a new world record and making it the first processor to pass the 9GHz milestone. <\/p>\n

Overclockers Jon Sandstr\u00f6m, Pieter Plaiser, and their team set the record at an Asus office in Taiwan earlier this month. Using an open-bench system with an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard, the Core i9-13900K, which has a maximum boost of 5.8GHz, was pushed to 9.009GHz. It was able to run Pifast for 6.85 seconds and SuperPi 32M for 3 minutes, 3 seconds, and 778 milliseconds.<\/p>\n

\n

It’s over 9000!!!!<\/p>\n

ASUS overclockers broke the 9 GHz barrier, smashing their own previous CPU frequency record.<\/p>\n

With that, the ROG Maximus Z790 Apex has 14 World Records, and 29 GFP scores, making it the Z790 record-breaking champion.? @intel<\/a> @IntelGaming<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/hVs4uJTqdb<\/a><\/p>\n

The team achieved its world record, which now tops the HWBOT<\/a> charts, by disabling all of the Core i9-13900K’s Efficient cores and hyperthreading, leaving only the eight Performance cores and eight threads.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the chip reached its record-breaking speed using liquid nitrogen (LN2), though, in this instance, it was combined with liquid helium to bring the temperature first down to -196 degrees Celsius (-320.8 Fahrenheit) before pushing it to -250.2\u00b0C (-418.36 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/p>\n

Back in October, the Core i9-13900K chip broke the overclocking world record by reaching 8.8GHz, moving ahead of the 8.7 GHz (8,722.78 MHz) reached by AMD’s FX-8370 that had been unbeaten for almost a decade.<\/p>\n

We called the Intel Core i9-13900K hot and hungry in our review<\/a> of the current Raptor Lake flagship, awarding it a disappointing score of 75.<\/p>\n

It’ll certainly be interesting to see if the overclocking record will be broken again when the Intel Core i9-13900KS arrives next year. There’s expected to be a special edition version of the CPU that can reach 6GHz without requiring manual tuning.<\/p>\n

The Intel Core i9-13900KS actually appears in the overclocking video\u2014unlikely to be an accident on Intel’s part\u2014in a CPU-Z listing where the product name is the Core i9-13900K, suggesting the KS version is a pre-binned model. As per VideoCardz<\/a>, the chip is shown with a Max TDP of 150W, though this is just the Processor Base Power (PL1), so the Max Turbo Power (MTP\/PL2) will likely be higher. For comparison, the Core i9-13900K has a base TDP of 125W and a max TDP of 253W.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
