The Core i9-14900KS, Intel’s next Special Edition processor, will be able to reach boost clocks of up to 6.4 GHz on MSI motherboards, according to a screenshot that the chi11eddog account shared this morning of an updated MSI BIOS that includes a series of new “P-Core Beyond” overclocking profiles, including one for “6.4/5.8 GHz.” Intel’s Core i9-14900KS CPU, which is reportedly being unveiled tomorrow, is set to offer 6.2 GHz speeds out of the box.

I'd like to try this. I wonder how long it can really stay in boost like that. Not long I'd imagine.

I wonder what the total system power draw is at those speeds.

Total system I don't know, but CPU would be like 400W+?

Could be lower if it is a very good sample... but if it's a mediocre one like my 12700K, 5.1GHz will eat up 300W...

The reports are saying 400+ lots of news articles about that.

So basically this and a 4090 both pegged at maximum could potentially take down a 1000W PSU, under the right circumstances.

If it's a crappy unit that would fail @Paul_Johnson's testing, possibly. A decent unit would be stressed but should power through.
