Back at it again! 🔥
After taking a long break from the hwbot leaderboards, I’ve found myself getting the itch again — but this time, with a fun twist. I’m digging out some of my Intel chips and re-benching them using today’s gear: newer BIOS, better power supplies, faster RAM, and improved thermal paste. 🧊⚡

It’s been a blast so far, revisiting these old CPUs and seeing what they can really do when given a second chance.

📈 begins!

✅ 14900KF – done
✅ 13900K – benched
🔄 12900K – in progress
⏳ 12600HX – coming up
✅ G7400 – yep, even the little guy got some love

Already took down two world records, you will never guess which ones 🤭

⚡️Voltage Thrill Performance! Benchmarks coming soon. Stay tuned! 🖥️👀

Back-to-Back Champion – G.SKILL OC World Cup 2025!

What an incredible ride! I’m beyond honored to take home the win at the G.SKILL Overclocking World Cup at Computex 2025 — for the second year in a row! This wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing support from the companies and people who make pushing limits possible.

Huge thanks to:
• G.SKILL – Your blazing-fast memory and commitment to the OC community are second to none. Thanks for putting on the best overclocking event in the world!
• Intel– The new Intel chips are absolute beasts. Thank you for the power and stability I needed to push every last MHz.
• ASUS – Your motherboards are surgical tools in the hands of overclockers. Couldn’t ask for better gear to chase records.
• KINGPINcooling – Still the gold standard in extreme cooling. Your gear kept temps low and clocks sky-high!
• Seasonic – The most reliable power supplies. Your power house of a PSU kept my system going in the most demanding workloads!

Big love to the overclocking community, my fellow competitors, and everyone who followed along. This win’s for all of us pushing the edge of what’s possible.

See you next year — I’m not done yet!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just won the G.SKILL Overclocking Championship Online Qualifier for the THIRD year in a row! 🏆🔥 What a crazy journey it’s been!

This year was no walk in the park—competition was fierce, my schedule tight, time limited and the fight for the top spot was incredibly close until the very last hour. So much so that I had to start re-benching 7zip just a few hours before the competition closes to push it over 84k which allowed me to take the top spot. ⏰

Moreover the introduction of G.SKILL's new 6000 C26 bin for 16GB modules and 8000 C38 bin for 24GB modules was a game-changer, pushing us to new limits and requiring serious fine-tuning, while also overcoming previous overclocking limits with ease.

The competition took place across two platforms: the refined Intel Z790 and the brand-new Z890, which opened up a whole new world of tuning options. However, figuring out the Z890 wasn’t easy—it had no blueprints or past results to guide us, making it a real challenge. But with a lot of trial and error, we finally cracked it! 💪🔧 As this took many multi hour long sessions I was very pleased by how well the Elmorlabs heaters kept condensation from happening. Absolute must-have for XOC these days!

I have to give a huge shoutout to ASUS for the Z890 APEX motherboard—its incredible stability and BIOS gave me the precision needed to pull off this win. And, of course, none of this would have been possible without the amazing support from Intel, ASUS, G.SKILL, and KingpinCooling.

A special thank you to G.SKILL for hosting this amazing competition every year and keeping the overclocking scene alive. It’s incredible to have such a passionate community to be a part of, and G.SKILL continues to push the envelope in terms of both performance and innovation.

Now, I’m gearing up for the 2025 G.SKILL Overclocking World Championship Finals during Computex! I can’t wait to take everything I’ve learned and bring it to the next level. Let’s see how far we can push it! 🚀 And I'm really looking forward to see all my friends again in Taipei!



Let’s go for the gold! ✨

This post is to gauge interest for a 5090 mounting bracket compatible with latest Icon LN2 pot. Please comment for me to see who is in.

Since I posted this pic I received a multitude of requests on a 5090 mounting bracket. Mine is made from 304L stainless steel with excellent mechanical and anti corrosive properties. However a single unit was 250€.

The more I make at once the better the price will be. If we can get to a double digit commit (10 units+) I can make them for 89€ each plus shipping (world wide). A new version will be necessary adapted to the icon which has less clearance space between die and pot. Cutouts for SMDs are needed to avoid the risk of damage them if you want to fit a memory heater on the front from Elmor. On my own ln2 container in the pic I do have more clearance out of the box so those were not needed.

This bad boy can pass DDR5 9200MHz C34 with ease full pot on LN2 in various memory intensive benchmarks like 7zip, y-cruncher, Geekbench 3... about 266MHz frequency gain over ambient and tighter timings, too. A glimpse into the future.
