Intel’s new Core Ultra 9 285K hits OC world record with LN2-optimized heatsink, smashes 7.4GHz [Video]

Intel’s new Core Ultra 9 285K processor has been used with an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard, and an LN2-optimized heatsink from Diabatix to achieve a bunch of OC world records with the CPU overclocked to a bonkers 7448MHz (7.4GHz).

This achievement was made possible in a collaboration between ElmorLabs Ltd., BenchMarc, OGS, and CENS, using a copper heatsink designed by Diabatix and manufactured by 3D Systems. The teams used Intel’s new flagship Core Ultra 9 285K processor, and the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard with an LN2 cooling system and a copper heatsink designed by Diabatix and manufactured by 3D Systems.

The heatsink was custom-built to work with liquid nitrogen, which we all know as a substance that runs at an extremely low temperature, allows for continuous, stable performance under high-temperature conditions (like overclocking the hell out of a new Core Ultra 9 285K processor). Diabatix notes …
