Intel Core i9-14900KF Sets New Overclocking World Record at 9121.61 MHz

Btw you searched for "benchmade". Gotta click on the lower option.
Actually, im not. Look at the search field. Google was asking if I meant "benchmade". So what if I was/am ignorant? Ive never heard of this before and ive been in this tech space in this form for over 20 years.

Setting or breaking records is about doing it within a prescribed set of rules, not about the prize you get at the end, or how many people try around you at the same time.
Oh im sure. But regardless, seems like a pointless endeavor to me since there is no way to run the OC record 24/7. Now if you put the chip to its limits in an environment that would be easy to run under 24/7 (watercooling), I'd be more impressed.

Well now you're arguing against records in general. The record breaking cars on track that you mentioned earlier can't pull that off 24/7. And what a 24/7-safe record breaking frequency is nobody knows, unless you're looking back at it after 5-10 years of running it. Nowadays some CPUs aren't safe 24/7 even at stock...

If ever you find a way to prove that your CPU ran 24/7 (or even just record how many hours it could run there, few computers run 24/7) at a specified frequency and settle the question "what's better, 4 years at 10GHz or 5 years at 8GHz" then that's a recipe for inventing another type of record you can hold.

P.S. There is no way for you to run the OC record at all, not just 24/7. That's the whole achievement. Only one human in the world pulled it off.
