Intel’s new CPU reaches 9.1 GHz at 1.85V and -231°C

The talented team from ASUS has been able to overclock the new desktop CPU to 9.1 GHz.

ASUS ROG has claimed four new world records thanks to the release of Intel Core i9-14900KS, the new 24-core desktop CPU. This processor comes with a 6.2 GHz clock out of the box, but this is nothing extraordinary for overclockers, who have only started pushing the CPU to new levels.

Starting with the frequency record, the CPU has overtaken the previous world record of 9044 MHz as broken on October 17, 2023, with Core i9-14900KF by Swedish overclocker “elmor”. The new world record is 9117.75 MHz, and it has been achieved on ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore motherboard, a high-end overclocking board designed specifically for this purpose. It was also achieved by the same overclocker and his team.

According to the video posted below, the CPU reached a temperature of -231 °C during this test. The CPU used extremely high voltage of 1.85V. Of course, for this to work, exotic cooling was needed. The CPU was cooled down with liquid helium.

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced that an international group of elite overclockers has set four world records with an ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore motherboard featuring the new Intel® Core™ i9-14900KS processor.
