9117 MHz with the Core i9-14900KS might be an unbreakable CPU frequency overclocking world record.

This frequency was achieved on March 7, 2024, by the overclocking team consisting of Peter Tan (Shamino), Jon Sandstrom (Elmor), SoonHo Jeong (Safedisk), and myself Pieter-Jan Plaisier (SkatterBencher).

It is the culmination of a frequency record journey that began with the exceptional overclocking capabilities of Intel’s Raptor Lake processor architecture.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the reasons why some suggest this overclocking world record may never be broken, and how we achieved the world’s first 9 GHz and 9.1 GHz CPU overclock.
