I had the opportunity to try out a Core i9-14900KS processor a week ahead of launch. Since EK just launched the Cryo Cooling technology installer supporting 14th gen processors, I figured I’d do the same as I did for the Core i9-13900KS launch: try to maximize the frequency with Cryo Cooling.
In this short video I want to share how I got to 6900 MHz and hopefully give you an idea of what’s possible with Raptor Lake’s last hurrah.
00:00 Introduction
02:01 BIOS Configuration
