Core i9-12900K: Overclocking Records by OGS and Splave

Greek overclocker OGS and American enthusiast Splave have secured gold and silver in the Intel Core i9-12900K CPU leaderboard for the y-cruncher - Pi-1b.

OGS pushed the CPU to an impressive 6678.94MHz (a +108.72% overclock from stock) and the DDR5 memory to 7893MHz, completing the benchmark in 15 seconds and 318 milliseconds.

True to form, OGS used an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 APEX motherboard and a G.SKILL F5-6400J3239G16G RAM kit to achieve this score with the 8-core Core i9-12900K chip.

Splave, for his part, managed a slightly lower 6648MHz (+107.75% from stock) and lagged considerably in RAM overclocking, only hitting 7400MHz. Still, the DDR5 frequency gap didn't significantly impact his final benchmark score. The American finished y-cruncher - Pi-1b in 15 seconds and 748 milliseconds:

Traditionally, Splave opted for an ASRock Z690 AQUA OC motherboard, pairing it with a G.SKILL F5-6000U4040E16G RAM kit.

Notably, in both cases, the CPUs utilized all 8 performance and 16 efficiency cores.
