on the occasion of the launch of theCore i9-14900KS From the Raptor Lake Refresh series, Intel, which celebrated its 50th birthday on that occasion, held a launch event on Thursday (14.3) in the company’s IDC9 building in Haifa, an event that included the company’s first overclocking competition in Israel for reporters, YouTubers and employees The company, who took the new processors and tried to push them to the limit.
What is overclocking?
In its simplest form, overclocking is the ability to run a processor at a higher speed than it offers by default.
As you try to operate the processor at a higher operating frequency, it is necessary to increase the voltage of the processor, which increases its temperature and requires the use of high-quality and stronger cooling in order to maintain low operating temperatures, when in the case of the competition, liquid nitrogen (LN2) was used that reaches a temperature of Minus 196 degrees.

Laboratory-Core i9-14900KS Comes with an “accelerated” working frequency of 6.2GHz compared to the 6GHz frequency of the processorCore i9-14900K The company’s usual, when according to Intel’s announcement at the event, the ASUS overclockers team managed to run the processor at an extremely high operating frequency of over 9.1GHz and break the previous generation’s record of 9GHz.

In our case, after a brief explanation of Yaniv Carmelleading the field of overclocking at Intel, andSharon Nachmiasranked first in Israel in the field of overclocking and ninth in the world, on how extreme overclocking is performed, which requires the use of dedicated hardware.
And in our case, special ASUS motherboards, which include a dedicated acceleration mode for liquid nitrogen that is poured into a Pot (“pot”) in order to lower the temperature of the processors.
The event began with a first round of competition between Intel employees, which was won by Majd Khoury, an engineer in the company, with a short tour of the various Intel validation laboratories in the building, followed by a short round of competition between the various reporters, who managed to reach high working frequencies of up to 7.5GHz, not particularly impressive compared to the team ASUS dedicated with over 9GHz.
But it’s still a particularly interesting experience to compete between people to see who will be able to reach a higher processor frequency and a better score in the cinebench r23 software, when In my case I teamed up with Michelle and Guy from HardwareX and we came in first place in the competition with the highest score of 55,450 points.

Intel’s overclocking competition together with the tour of the company’s laboratories was a particularly interesting event not only for the reporters and YouTubers who came to cover the event and experience extreme conversion, which requires quite a bit of special and expensive hardware, but also for the company’s employees, who experienced the speeding ability of the new processors.
