Intel Core i9-9900K reaches 7.6 GHz and breaks overclocking records

The Core i9-9900K eight-core processor started to emerge in the world markets from last Friday, but according to Intel it already has more than 16 recorded overclocks on its account.

Intel’s new flagship model, the Core i9-9900K is a chip with an unlocked multiplier coefficient. On the overclocking side, tests showed that its mechanics were solid and the potential of the cooling system was accordingly very high.

During the autumn desktop launch in New York, the overclockers Allen “Splave” Golibersuch and Joe “Steponz” Stepongzi increased the processor frequency with liquid nitrogen to 7.1 GHz. This guaranteed first place in 15 categories and a new world record in the PC Mark 10.

Over the last few days, we have seen a real race to GHz with liquid nitrogen or liquid helium. This challenging game just crossed the 7.6 GHz mark. That frequency could be applied to all 8 processor cores simultaneously. That performance was achieved with a ROG Maximum Gene XI motherboard.

As a result, the processor power flies away leaving the current records broken. It is Der8auer’s skill to overclock the maximum potential of this processor. A homemade cooling system with liquid helium was used. You can see from the video that there is an extreme overclocking. The Core i9-9900K has reached 7613 MHz.

Intel takes the opportunity to underline its appearance by announcing a new world record under PCMark 10 with 8354 points. The Core i9-9900K was pushed here with 5.5 GHz under liquid nitrogen.

To reach 7.6 GHz, the overclocker used liquid helium, which is extremely icy and helped the processor cool down, but needed an extra ventilation system to remove the steam. The recording was only possible thanks to a large structure built by the8auer team
