NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090D from GALAX (HOF OC LAB) has become the first Blackwell GPU to hit an overclock of 4 GHz. Team OGS Pushes NVIDIA's "GALAX HOF OC LAB" RTX 5090D To A Record 4 GHz Overclock It was going to happen sooner or later, but a year and a half after launch, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090D has been able to set the fastest clock speed ever recorded on a Blackwell GPU. Team OGS from Greece was able to post the spectacular overclock record at HWBOT. The session featured a GALAX GeForce RTX 5090D graphics card, not the […]

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?
