US-based semiconductor giant Intel introduced the 13th generation Raptor Lake processors about a month ago. One of the most powerful processors in this series was the Intel Core i9-13900K. This processor would be able to run at 5.8 GHz, according to the official statement made by Intel.
However, the figure announced by Intel showed the speed value of this processor under normal conditions. In other words, it was obvious that an overclocked Intel Core i9-13900K could go above 5.8 GHz. That’s what happened. Intel Core i9-13900K, which was put into an independent test after overclocking, managed to reach record speed. The speed shown by the free system monitoring application CPU-Z was exactly 8.81285 GHz (8812.85 MHz).
The highest speed since 2014 has been reached!
The maximum operating frequency ever achieved with a processor was 8.7228 GHz (8722.8 MHz), recorded in 2014 with the AMD FX-8370 processor. The test with the Intel Core i9-13900K made history as the highest record ever achieved. It is already a matter of curiosity when the record will be broken again.
So which motherboard helped break this record?
When we look at the data in the international organization HWBOT, which stores data on overclocking processes, we also reach the information on which motherboard the Intel Core i9-13900K, which broke the world record by reaching 8.81285 GHz, works. According to the information we obtained, the motherboard that allowed this speed to be reached was ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex. In addition, a liquid nitrogen cooling system was used to keep the processor intact at this high operating frequency.
