Video Description
In today's video, I overclock and undervolt the Intel Core i7-14700K Raptor Lake Refresh CPU up to 6.2 GHz with the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero motherboard and EK-Quantum water cooling. This is the second 14th gen CPU I overclock on this channel. Arguably, the 14700K is the most interesting SKU from the 14th gen lineup. However, the overclocking didn't go exactly as planned. I hope you enjoy the video. 00:00 Intro 02:15 Stock Performance 03:49 OC Strategy #1: Turbo Boost 2.0 + XMP 3.0 07:37 OC Strategy #2: Foundation + Speed Optimizer 10:21 OC Strategy #3: ASUS AI Overclock 14:55 OC Strategy #4: Simple Overclock & Undervolt 21:25 OC Strategy #5: Advanced Overclock & Undervolt 39:35 Let's Wrap Things Up Join the discord: https://discord.gg/vt5ZKcMkQx Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/skatterbencher SkatterBencher blog: https://skatterbencher.com/2024/01/20/skatterbencher-68-intel-core-i7-14700k-overclocked-to-6200-mhz/ Hardware list: - Intel Core i7-14700K https://amzn.to/47GWQan - ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero https://amzn.to/3S6ukcr - EK-Quantum Momentum² ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-momentum-asus-rog-maximus-z790-dark-hero-d-rgb-plexi - EK-Pro QDC Kit P360 https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-pro-qdc-kit-p360-lga-4189 - ElmorLabs EFC https://elmorlabs.com/product/elmorlabs-efc-easy-fan-controller/ - G.SKILL Trident Z DDR5-7200 CL34 32GB https://amzn.to/3Nt3Yjb - Enermax EMR1500EWT Maxrevo 1500W https://amzn.to/3u0MELZ - ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2080 TI https://amzn.to/3uuD0kK - Kingston Digital 120GB SSDNow V300 https://amzn.to/3tOcvXz - Open Benchtable V2 https://openbenchtable.com/ As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
