Thunderobot Packs An RTX 5070 Into A 1.64 Kg Carbon-Fiber Body, Undercutting LG And ASUS

4 July 2026 at 12:30

Two laptops, one black and one white with red accents, are displayed with the brand name Zero visible on the left and the text '1.64 kg' prominently above them.

This might be the lightest gaming laptop with a GeForce RTX 5070, weighing just 1.6 Kg, which makes it very portable. Thunderobot Debuts ZERO Air 16 Gaming Laptop That Weighs 1.64 Kg, but Still Brings GeForce RTX 5070 onboard The new ZERO Air 16 is the world's lightest 16-inch gaming laptop with the GeForce RTX 5070, according to Thunderobot. The manufacturer announced ZERO Air 16 recently, which runs on a Panther Lake CPU, paired with the GeForce RTX 5070 mobile GPU. Thunderobot has been able to cram this hardware inside a thin body that also weighs much less than its […]

Team OGS breaks 4GHz barrier with Galax RTX 5090D HOF

2 July 2026 at 15:30

Team OGS has submitted a new HWBOT entry showcasing a Galax GeForce RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab Edition running at 4002MHz. This represents the first validated 4GHz core frequency milestone for an Nvidia Blackwell graphics card under extreme overclocking conditions.

Validation (via Wccftech) was achieved through the GPUPI v3.3 32B benchmark, with the run completing in 35 seconds and 377 milliseconds. According to the HWBOT submission, the graphics card used a GB202-based GPU core paired with 1860MHz memory clocks. This lightweight compute workload does not tax the GPU as much as modern 3D titles, allowing for extreme clocks.

The overclocking setup relied on an Elmor External Clock Board set to 28.7MHz, overriding the standard internal reference clock. Liquid nitrogen cooling managed the thermal load, utilising a Bitspower Strata LN2 GPU Pot and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme thermal paste. Other hardware consisted of an Intel Core i9-14900KF running at 6.0GHz, an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore motherboard, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory, and a Corsair WS3000 power supply.

This submission specifically utilised the original Galax RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab Edition variant. The model maintains the original layout, distinguishing it from the newer V2 version, which has a cut-down 24GB configuration and a narrower 384-bit bus.

KitGuru says: Do you think overclockers will be able to push the Blackwell architecture much further than this?

Intel Core i9-14900KF achieves world record CPU frequency at 9.2GHz

19 May 2026 at 17:30

The Intel Core i9-14900KF has become the first processor to break past the 9.2GHz clock frequency barrier, setting a new world record. Achieved by Chinese overclocker wytiwx, the processor reached 9,206MHz, surpassing the previous record in the HWBOT database.

As noted by Wccftech, the record-breaking entry was achieved using liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling. To maintain stability during the validation, the processor was configured with only seven cores and seven threads enabled. Validation data shows the Core i9-14900KF was running at a core voltage of 1.348V. The test platform used an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard alongside 16GB of DDR5 memory operating at 5792MHz with CL32 timings.

Out of the box, the Intel Core i9-14900KF features a 24-core, 32-thread configuration with eight P-cores and 16 E-cores. It includes 36MB of L3 cache, 32MB of L2 cache, a base TDP of 125W, a maximum turbo power of 253W, and a stock maximum turbo frequency of 6.00GHz.

The HWBOT database shows that only two CPU submissions have broken the 9GHz threshold. The new 9,206MHz submission holds the top spot, followed by a 9,117MHz achievement on an Intel Core i9-14900KS by Elmor. The highest-ranking AMD entry currently sits in seventh place, achieved with an FX-8370 pushed to 8722MHz.

KitGuru says: How long do you think it will take for overlockers to break the 10GHz barrier?
