With help from Asus, Intel has finally managed to break AMD's CPU overclocking record, which stood the test of time for eight years. The Intel Core i9-13900K managed to surpass 9 GHz today.

With Intel's upcoming 13th Gen Raptor Lake launch imminent, the company has decided to tease us with some juicy details about its upcoming chips. It's now confirmed that a 6GHz base clock CPU exists.

HiCookie, who is the in-house OC guru at Gigabyte was able to overclock the company's Aorus RGB DDR5 memory all the way up to 10,022 MT/s, past 10,004 MT/s, which was the previous record set by MSI.

Intel's locked Alder Lake-S Pentium G7400T was overclocked from 3.1, all the way up to 5.8GHz, a massive ~87% increase using BCLK tweaking. As such, the CPU has produced some impressive benchmarks.

ASRock has announced today that its overclocking (OC) records on Alder Lake-S using the Z690 AQUA OC board have been validated by HWBOT. Meanwhile, Gigabyte has denied that it faked its 8GHz CPU-Z OC.

The new world record belongs to a legendary Taiwanese overclocker who used liquid nitrogen and surprisingly, a MSI ITX motherboard, to push an 8GB stick of HyperX DDR to a blistering 5,608Mhz.

After some trials in England, the Bloodhound supersonic car will head to South Africa to try and reach its goal of 1000 mph. Andy Green is the driver and hopes to break the world record, set by him.
