TanteKaethe sets y-cruncher - Pi-1b record with Core i9-12900K overclock

One might think that experiments with extreme overclocking of 12th-gen Core chips would have already run their course, given that countless renowned overclockers have already demonstrated top results and claimed 90% of first places in most disciplines. However, as we've always said, that's far from the truth. In CPU overclocking, much depends on whether you get your hands on a 'golden sample' of a particular CPU.

Apparently, TanteKaethe finally found that elusive golden sample of the Intel Core i9-12900K chip. The enthusiast managed to overclock the processor to a significant 6619.34 MHz and complete the y-cruncher - Pi-1b benchmark in 13 seconds and 612 milliseconds. This secured first place in the model ranking for this CPU and a gold medal in the eight-core chip category.

To achieve this higher frequency, the overclocker disabled the efficiency cores.

While the raw frequency numbers might not seem particularly impressive on their own, it's crucial to understand that at this speed, the processor was fully capable of completing relatively complex benchmarks.

The Core i9-12900K was accompanied by the following components: a G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB RAM kit, a GIGABYTE Z690 Aorus Tachyon motherboard, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 graphics card (GF116 chip version, GDDR5 video memory, 128-bit).
