Computex 2023, one of the largest computer trade shows in the world, was indeed full of overclocking activities. Many renowned tech reporters and companies participated to test and push the limits of hardware. One notable event was the partnership between ASRock, a leading manufacturer of motherboards and other computer components, and tech reporters. Together, they took on a Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPU, which is one of Intel’s most powerful processors. Overclocking, also known as “pushing,” refers to the practice of increasing the performance of a CPU beyond the manufacturer’s intended limits.
This is usually done by increasing the clock speed and voltage to achieve higher processing power. The Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPU is a server CPU designed for use in data centers and demanding workloads. By overclocking the CPU, they tried to further increase performance and set new records. This type of collaboration between tech reporters and hardware manufacturers is not uncommon at trade shows like Computex. It allows manufacturers to showcase their products under extreme conditions and demonstrate their performance. At the same time, tech reporters get the opportunity to report on the latest technologies and innovations, and inform their readers and viewers about the hardware’s capabilities. It should be noted that overclocking CPUs carries risks, as it can lead to increased heat generation and instability. It requires advanced knowledge and proper cooling to ensure that the components are not damaged.
During the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2023 Grand Finals at Computex 2023, there were impressive overclocking performances on display. During these overclocks, both CPUs and DDR5 memory were pushed to speeds that required continuous cooling with liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is an extremely cold liquid used at temperatures of around -196 degrees Celsius. By immersing the hardware in liquid nitrogen, the temperature can be greatly reduced, resulting in the ability to overclock the components to higher clock speeds.
This allows for improved performance, but it also requires careful handling and cooling to avoid damage to the components. During the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2023 Grand Finals, participants demonstrated their overclocking skills. By using liquid nitrogen, they were able to push the limits of the hardware and achieve impressive speeds. CPUs were overclocked to clock speeds far above the standard specifications, resulting in increased computing power. At the same time, DDR5 memory was pushed to speeds that enabled extremely fast data transfer.
It is important to note that these overclocking performances were performed during the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2023 Grand Finals specifically for the competition. Liquid nitrogen is not usually recommended for everyday use or for average computer users, as it requires complex and expensive cooling. This type of overclocking is more reserved for enthusiasts, overclocking professionals and competitions where extreme performance is required.
The G.SKILL OC World Cup is a renowned competition where overclocking experts from all over the world meet to demonstrate their skills. Using liquid nitrogen and other cooling methods, participants can push their hardware to its limits and set records. Such events provide a platform for innovation in the overclocking field, allowing attendees to showcase their skills and share their knowledge of the intricacies of overclocking.
There was more overclocking action at the show, however, led by Wendel from Level1Techs, Bryan from Tech Yes City, and a team of overclocking experts from ASRock. Their task was to push the 16 power cores of Intel’s new Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPUs to new top speeds – 7.2 GHz to be exact. With the ASRock W790 motherboard, the workstation CPU reached a stable speed of 6.1 GHz and achieved an impressive Cinebench R23 score of around 46,000 points. This outperformed the Intel Core i9 13900K, which scored around 38,000 points. Unfortunately, it wasn’t possible to successfully complete a benchmark test with this overclocked frequency, but it was still impressive to achieve. Bryan from Tech Yes City made the joke that they should try to reach more than 10 GHz, but that was probably more wishful thinking.
