The extremely rare appearance of the American overclocker Splave on the main page of the HWBot database has its advantages: the Enthusiast knows how to break in with truly impressive results.
For example, today, after a whole week of calm, the American pleased the public with an absolute record among all eight-core processors installed on an Intel Core i9-9900KF overclocked to 6984MHz:
And this is quite a serious achievement, because now at least three processors are capable of such overclocking: the original Core i9-9900K, the hero of today’s news article Core i9-9900KF and the recent newcomer Core i9-9900KS. Moreover, enthusiasts pinned great hopes on the Core i9-9900KS, which, unfortunately, at the moment it has not justified. But the main results of the Core i9-9900KS are still ahead because at the moment we have examined a very small number of copies.
As always, Splave did not indicate the components used to set the record, but from the comment under the video and the confirmation screenshot, we know for sure about the ASRock Z170M OC Formula motherboard.
