Gigabyte overclocks Intel Core i9-11900K to 7314 MHz, setting several world records

Gigabyte has set a new world record for overclocking the flagship Intel Core i9-11900K Rocket Lake-S processor using the latest Z590 Aorus Tachyon motherboard. For extreme overclocking of the chip, liquid nitrogen was used as a cooler. As a result of the experiment, the processor was overclocked to an impressive 7314 MHz.

Along the way, new performance records were set in the Super Pi 1M and Super Pi 32M tests, according to a press release from the manufacturer.

Efficiency and stable overclocking of Intel Core i9-11900K were provided by a reinforced 13-phase power subsystem of the motherboard, built according to the 12 + 1 scheme. Each of its phases is capable of withstanding amperage up to 100 A. The power subsystem uses a matrix of tantalum capacitors, which provide lower temperatures and a stable overclocking level.

In addition to overclocking capabilities, the Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Tachyon is ready to offer a 2.5 Gigabit network interface, support for wireless standards WI-FI 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, as well as Q FLASH and Clear CMOS functions, which will facilitate the task of updating the BIOS and resetting the settings to factory defaults in case of such a need.
