With the arrival of Intel's nine-generation Core, various motherboard manufacturers have also launched the Z390 series of high-end products, with a comprehensive upgrade of the i9-9900K, and constantly create new records. Recently, professional overclocking player TSAIK from Taiwan has used a top-of-the-line MEG Z390 Godlike super-magic board to superimpose an i9-9900K to an amazing 7.47GHz (exactly 7472.3MHz) with a multiplier of 74x. The frequency has more than doubled, setting a new record.

Another player, Toppc, used the same motherboard to create a good score of 7446MHz (multiplier 73x).

It is worth noting that in these two overclocking, the i9-9900K keeps 8 cores and 16 threads all open, which shows the overclocking ability of the new processor and the new motherboard.

Last year, Toppc used a MSI Z370Godlike Gaming motherboard to push the i7-8700K to a record 7.4GHz.

MEG Z390 Godlike is a MSI designed to break the performance barrier and limit overclocking. It has 18-phase digital power supply, dual power supply interface, MSI Core Boost acceleration technology, temperature detector, and dynamic dragon soul panel integrated with an OLED in Shanghai. The display can be used as a dashboard to display hardware status in real time.

The audio aspect is also worth mentioning. The Xtreme Audio DAC solution includes dual dedicated Hi-Fi audio processor, dedicated ESS amplifier ESS AUDIO DAC, WIMA audio capacitor, 6.3mm headphone jack, and comes with a professional Streaming Boost video capture card.
