Intel Core i9-14900KF Sets New CPU Overclocking World Record at 9.12 GHz

Chinese overclocker 'wytiwx' surpasses previous record by 4 MHz using liquid helium cooling and a modified setup.

The Intel Core i9-14900KF reached a record-breaking 9.121 GHz, surpassing the previous record of 9.117 GHz set by the i9-14900KS.
Overclocker 'wytiwx' used an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard, liquid helium cooling, and Windows 7 to achieve the feat.
The setup disabled all efficiency cores and hyperthreading, focusing solely on the eight performance cores with a core voltage of 1.387V.
The milestone highlights the overclocking potential of Intel's older Raptor Lake architecture, as newer Arrow Lake CPUs have not surpassed 7.5 GHz in similar tests.
This achievement brings the industry slightly closer to the elusive 10 GHz mark, a goal Intel predicted would be reached by 2005.
