Intel’s Rocket Lake platform is proving its worth. The assembly on the Core i9-11900K processor allowed the DDR4 memory to be overclocked to a record – up to 7156 MHz

The 14nm process technology has kept the Intel Rocket Lake CPU from outperforming AMD’s 7nm Ryzen 5000 rivals in performance, but Rocket Lakes are not bad in and of themselves. For example, the flagship of the Core i9-11900K line, installed on a good motherboard and flavored with a powerful cooling system, provides good overclocking potential.

Intel's Rocket Lake platform is proving its worth.  The assembly on the Core i9-11900K processor allowed the DDR4 memory to be overclocked to a record - up to 7156 MHz

The record was recorded by the MSI OC Team, they, as the name suggests, were engaged in overclocking. The assembly involved the not cheap MSI MEG Z590I Unify motherboard. The RAM is represented by a single 8 GB DDR4 HyperX Predator 4600 MHz module. Its exact marking is HX44C19PB3K2 / 16. As a result of overclockers’ manipulations, the frequency was increased to 7156 MHz. An impressive result. True, the delays have also increased. As for the cooling system, then, as you can see in the photo, liquid nitrogen was used here.
