Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake flagship has been overclocked to an incredible 9GHz on the ROG Z790 Maximus Apex. ASUS’s overclocking team performed the feat, breaking the record for the highest-clocked consumer processor. The Core i9-13900K registered an impressive 6.85 seconds in Pifast and 3 minutes 3 seconds in Superpi 32M, making it the fastest in both benchmarks.
The ROG Maximus Z790 Apex features a 24-phase teamed power solution with DDR5-8000 memory support, 2x PCIe Gen 5 slots for dGPUs, and 5x M.2 Gen 5/4 slots. The board is priced at a steep $999 on Amazon and $700 on Newegg (out-of-stock at the moment).
