Asus overclocker Jon “Elmor” Sandström set a new all-time CPU frequency record. One enthusiast was able to run the flagship Intel Core i9-13900K processor at 9008.82 MHz.

Curiously, two months earlier, the same enthusiast dispersed the same processor at 8812.15 MHz, breaking the all-time eight-year CPU frequency record set by the AMD FX 8370 released in 2014.
For the new experiment, we used the ASUS Z790 ROG Apex flagship motherboard with a reinforced VRM power subsystem, as well as a lot of liquid nitrogen. Thanks to the latter, the operating temperature of the chip has been reduced to -250.2°C.

The Core i9-13900K was only overclocked on one of the eight core P-cores. The remaining large and small cores of the chip have been disabled. The video below shows in more detail how the overclocking experiment was performed.
According to ASUS, 14 different world records have been set so far with their Z790 ROG Apex motherboard.
