Core i9-13900K P-cores Overclocked to 6500 MHz With EK Delta² TEC & Z790 APEX | SkatterBencher #52

In today’s video, I overclock the Intel Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake P-Cores up to 6.5 GHz with the EK-Quantum Delta² TEC and ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard.

This is a bit of a different overclocking guide than my previous Raptor Lake content. Since I already overclocked the Core i9-13900K in SkatterBencher #49, I want to focus exclusively on the P-cores in this video. Furthermore, I will leverage Intel Cryo Cooling Technology to achieve frequencies that typically cannot be reached with regular cooling.

Rather than approaching this guide from the beginner’s perspective, I will assume anyone watching this video already has the basic knowledge of Intel CPU overclocking and focus on the tuning approach for this specific system.

Either way, I hope you will still enjoy the video.
