Description:
Expert overclockers at Asus have broken the 9.1GHz barrier for the first time 
ever.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Intels long-rumored Core i9-14900KS finally went on sale yesterday and 
already the CPU has broken records, including becoming the fastest ever 
processor. 

 Toms Hardware reports that a team of expert overclockers at Asus took the 
Core i9-14900KS  which runs at a mighty 6.2GHz boost right out of the box  
and pushed it to 9.117GHz to set a new world speed record. (Note that this 
was the boost achieved on a single core, as you might expect  you wont get 
6.2GHz at default speeds on all cores, either). 

The team  which comprised of well-known overclockers Elmor, SkatterBencher, 
and Shamino  used exotic cooling (liquid Helium) and had to crank the voltage 
to a huge 1.85V to get that almost 9.12GHz clock speed. 

This means the Core i9-14900KS is now the fastest ever CPU , beating out the 
Core i9-14900KF (the vanilla 14900K without integrated graphics) which hit 
9.044GHz previously . (Again, when ramped up by a team of Asus overclockers 
including SkatterBencher). 

On top of that, Safedisk, a South Korean overclocker, used the Core 
i9-14900KS to set new world records in the PiFast, SuperPI 1M, and PYPrime 
32B benchmarks, Toms Hardware observes. Analysis: PiFast and PiFaster 

Safedisks PiFast record didnt stand for long, mind you, as its already been 
knocked down to second place by another high-profile overclocker, Splave, 
also using the 14900KS. Interestingly, Splave used Liquid Nitrogen cooling 
(Liquid Helium was used by Safedisk, the same as the Asus overclocking team). 

Note that these benchmarking records were set at an overclock of 8.5GHz  the 
huge speed record-setting 9.12GHz was just a matter of having the CPU get to 
that clock and verify it (in CPU-Z), not actually running anything (well, 
except CPU-Z of course). 

If you recall, the 14900KF did manage to briefly hit 9.1GHz in previous clock 
speed record attempts, but the processor wasnt stable and the system locked 
up before the overclock could be validated. So technically, thats no good, 
and its only with the 14900KS that weve now witnessed 9.1GHz being exceeded 
and running in a stable fashion. 

In all likelihood that clock speed will be beaten soon enough, mind, as there 
will be no shortage of overclockers trying their hand to get even more 
performance mileage out of the 14900KS. 

 The 13900KF was the first CPU to break the 9GHz barrier , although just by a 
hair when it reached 9.008GHz. You might also like Processor upgrade: how to
