Professional overclocker manages to raise the frequency of the Intel i9 7900X processor, with ten physical cores, to 6.01GHz and it has been cooled by liquid nitrogen.

A minority practice, but increasingly regarded by motherboard and graphics card builders, because it allows to see the performance potential of GPUs and CPUs. HWBot is the website used to validate the overclocking results internationally and has revealed the potential of the Intel i9 7900X processors. The overclocker sofos1990, has increased its result of the i9 7900X with liquid nitrogen overclocking, this processor being at a working frequency of 6.01GHz, increasing more than 80% the frequency with respect to the reference of the processor.

It has been subjected to the HBOT Prime software, registering a result of no less than 12189.52pps, placing it in the best result of a single processor. This has been possible thanks to the fact that the processor has been subjected to a significant overclock since it has ten physical cores. The processor voltage has been raised to 1.6V, an interesting fact, which shows that with a slight increase in voltage, performance is capable of dramatically improving.

The elements to have this Intel i9 7900X processor have been a Gigabyte X299 SoC Champion motherboard and DDR4 G.Skill TridentZ RAM has been provided, although the working frequencies and the amount of memory used have not been specified, in addition, has used Corsair AX1500i power supply, the best power supply on the market and the most stable. This processor has been working in a stable way at -110ºC and it is that with the liquid nitrogen it works in negative temperatures, so that the processor works more comfortably. On the alleged temperature problems of the VRM, no trace.
