Overclocking may not be for everyone, but It has a community of enthusiastic people who are dedicated to making this alteration to the clock frequency of a processor in order to improve its performance.. This situation is taken as a competition and today there is a new winner: the Intel Core i9-13900K.
This processor that comes from Intel and belongs to the i9 family is one of the most recent and powerful equipment that is currently on the market. Despite the fact that its power is something worth considering, a team of enthusiasts has decided to push what can be achieved with this processor to the limit.
In order to successfully carry out the overclock of Intel Core i9-13900K They have needed certain elements that are not at hand. Among these components, logically, a motherboard signed by ASUS has also been taken into account and, to no one’s surprise, liquid nitrogen.
Yes, you read it right. To make the overclock successful, they have needed liquid nitrogen, which has made it a construction designed for enthusiasts. Apart from this liquid, to feed an overclocked processor a 1,600W power supply has been needed that has also been signed by ASUS.
Overclock the Intel Core i9-13900K with liquid nitrogen and a 1,600W power supply
The use of liquid nitrogen has allowed the processor to be cooled efficiently and, above all, quickly so that the equipment destined to carry out this overclock could getting the Intel Core i9-13900K to go from a standard clock speed of 5.80 GHz to 9.008 GHzbeing a completely abysmal difference.
Achieving an overclock on a 9.008 GHz processor is a new record within the enthusiast sector of computers. Just a few attempts ago, it had managed to reach 8.80 GHz, which would now be below the new record that was set this week and that will surely remain for some time.
Liquid nitrogen has acted efficiently since it Thanks to its characteristics, the temperature has been achieved at -269 °C which has allowed the overclock of the Intel Core i9-13900K to be stable. This new record It represents a milestone in computer modding, although surely some users are already planning to break it.
