Intel’s Core i9-14900KS processor goes on sale today and can reach a maximum clock speed of 6.2GHz. However, Asus and PC overclocking team ElmorLabs did briefly work with this processor using liquid helium. Exceeded the 9.1GHz speed limit.
Intel’s latest desktop processor reaches 9.1GHz with liquid helium
In December 2022, ElmorLabs founder Jon Sandström achieved a speed of 9,008MHz using Intel’s Core i9-13900K processor. Now, the new Intel Core i9-14900KS chip has a slightly higher speed. to 9,117.75MHz reached.
To achieve this success, Sandström developed the processor for $649. Asus ROG Maximum Z790 Apex Encore placed it on the motherboard. Overclockers often use liquid nitrogen to cool the massive heat generated when running a PC chip beyond normal limits.
Who is at the top in the processor world? AMD vs Intel
What is the competition between AMD and Intel? Intel and AMD 2023 processor shipment rates have been announced. Accordingly, there are no surprises at the top.
But Sandström and his team preferred liquid helium, which can reach colder temperatures. ElmorLabs posted video of the event, where the processor was placed in a cooling container filled with liquid helium, and then a fan blew out the resulting smoke.
Liquid helium, PC -193 forced Windows to boot at degrees Celsius (-315.4 Fahrenheit). Temperatures dropped even further and Intel chip lost performance on one of its cores. 9.1GHz when it reaches speed -231 degrees Celsius.
shiftdelete.netThis development is an exciting step for the future of technology by pushing the boundaries of computer hardware. Such records achieved in liquid helium’s cooling capacity and extreme acceleration demonstrate the future potential of computer processors.
Such innovations have the potential to create significant impacts for computer engineers and industry professionals alike. What do you think about this record? Don’t forget to share your opinions.
