In today's video, I'm using the Foundation Toolkit to overclock the Core i9-14900K processor on a GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS MASTER X motherboard. The primary purpose of the video is to introduce you to the Foundation Toolkit software and show you how it works.

Foundation Toolkit is a next-generation cloud-based CPU silicon customization software designed by the creators of Benchmate and SkatterBencher. The CPU customization toolkit leverages the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) SDK to provide users with precise CPU performance tuning. Thus, Foundation is tailored for Intel CPU users.
