Hacksawing a Motherboard Helped Me Set a 12900K Overclocking Record

 

I set a Cinebench world record on Alder Lake by destroying a motherboard.

 

 

Intel’s Alder Lake has retaken the performance crown from AMD, but in some cases, chip bowing issues have resulted in sub-par cooling. I took a hacksaw to a motherboard to help fix the issue, resulting in an extra 50 MHz of clock speed that put me over the top, winning a world record with the Core i9-12900K in Cinebench R23 at 6.95 GHz.
