The Core i9-12900K processor was overclocked by a professional overclocker HiCookie, which shows that it will have no problem reaching beats above 8 GHz, which was banned by the 14nm generation Rocket Lake-S. According to information from the HWBOT, the Core i9-11900K reached a maximum of 7334 MHz, and the Core i9-10900K was already better at 7707 MHz. This is, of course, an extreme overclocking, where liquid nitrogen is usually used and the resulting processor temperatures are well below zero. The practical benefit is so small, but such attempts can in a way show the clocking potential of the chips or their production process.

However, in its initial experiment, HiCookie also focused on DDR5 modules provided by Gigabyte, which was a simple basic version of two 8GB DDR5-4800 modules. However, they also managed the physical clock speed of 4150 MHz, which thus corresponded to the DDR5-8300 rating, with the CL52 timing (more precisely, 52-52-52-100-127-2). Such is still very decent in mind with such a high beat.
We will soon see the results of further clock attempts, and this result with the same 8000 MHz on the Core i9-12900K processor can be taken only as a small tasting of things to come. We will see where overclockers will be able to get and whether they will not be able to exceed 9 GHz. But you can’t rely on it.

By the way, HiCookie used the Gighabyte Z690 AORUS TACHYON board, and it is clear from the CPU-Z validator that the 8 GHz clock was achieved on only one of the eight P main cores.
