The SOFOS1990 user has broken multiple records in HWBOT using a Skylake-X processor based on Intel Core i9 7900X and liquid nitrogen cooling. With a clock rate of 6.01 GHz, the user got a score of 12189.52 points, which is the highest of all time. And 6.01 GHz is also the world record by a single processor.
According to Intel’s official information, i9-7900X design based on frequency for up to only 3.3GHz. And the maximum boost available is from 3.0 to 4.5GHz, so that is 33% higher than the correct extreme overclocking rate.
Recall that the Intel Core i9 7900X has ten physical cores and 20 threads of execution. So this could be considered a feat, as by using more core it is harder to get higher clock rates.
Intel Core i9 7900X configuration used by SOFOS1990 HWBOT are as follows:
Intel Core i9 7900X
G.Skill Trident Z
120 GB Neutron SSD
GIGABYTE X299 SOC Champion
Corsair AX 1500i PSU
Liquid nitrogen
With the power of the new Intel processor with ten physical cores, breaking the HWBOT record. The reached for the first time at a clock speed of about 6016 MHzwith a Vcore of 1.6V. This voltage is considerably high, so they use liquid nitrogen for cooling purpose so that it does not end up flaming through the air.

With this accessory set, they succeeded to get about 12189.52 points in HWBOT. With the use of liquid nitrogen, the temperature reaches -116 degrees. The motherboard that is used here to get the most out of this processor is the GIGABYTE Aorus X299.
From the data point of view, 6016MHz with i9-7900X is the world’s fastest ten core, 20 threads processor. Also, it is the fastest single-core processor clock rate until now.

Although this result is spectacular, Intel warns that its Core-X line will not use solder for the dissipation used in the processor’s encapsulation for a case if it uses a TIM system. So if we want to get the best performance, we will have to invest in making at cold, so it does not generate such high temperatures.
