Intel Core i9-13900K Breaks Overclocking World Record at 8.8 GHz
Intel Core i9-13900K processor has just been launched, and overclockers worldwide got their hand on a few samples to make history. According to the HWBot submission, a Swedish overclocker named "elmor" has pushed Intel's top-end consumer SKU to a fantastic 8.812 GHz. For more than eight years, the record for the single-highest overclocking speed was held by AMD FX-8370, from the now-bygone era of AMD Black Edition processors. The overclocking attempt was performed using liquid nitrogen (LN2) that cools the chip using its −195.8 °C temperature. Pushing core voltage to 1.850 Volts and VCCIN to 2 Volts, multiplier set to x88, and a bus speed of 100.15 MHz. In addition to the Core i9-13900K CPU, elmor used ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX motherboard and 32 GB DDR5 GSKILL memory running at 4808 MT/s.
As a reminder, the FX-8370 CPU was holding the number one sport for eight years with a speed of 8.722 GHz. Beating the FX-8370 by just 90 MHz, it will be interesting to see if any of the upcoming CPU SKUs can match this overclocking record, and we are curious if any contender will come to beat elmor's current record.

What was the wattage?
congrats intel
That 1.325V vcore does not add up. Was it with external cpu vrm?
I validated 5.0 GHz on air with an FX 8320E, but the ST score was weak compared to the good Intels of the same years (301/2009 pts with cpuz 1.98).
But was a cool and fast cpu, super easy to overclock: it served me well for many years. Overclocked via bios before meeting Windows for the first time, like should be for every cpu! :rockout:
VCCIN was 2.000v, Vcore was 1.850v.
the FX was boosting to 4.2GHz tops out of the box, and that represents a 100% OC.
On LN2 i think you should be happy to obtain 7GHz+ but no more. In order to beat it you need a tray of FX's again and figure out which chip holds best clocks.
Superfast windows updates...:laugh:
Now breaking the record GHz record on a great Raptor Cove core is special as a chip with great and even the best IPC in the X86 space broke an overclocking record.
