Intel Core i9-13900KF overclocked to 6.0GHz spotted running on a B660 motherboard

To overclock the Intel Core i9-13900KF, you would think that a Z690/790 motherboard would be necessary. However, some B660 motherboards can also do it via BCLK, as proven earlier this year. These boards were already used to overclock 12th Gen Core chips, and now we have confirmation that you should be able to do the same with Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake flagship processor. 

The Core i9-13900KF entry spotted by @TUM_APISAK shows the 24C/32T processor with its P-cores overclocked to 6.0GHz running at 1.57V with a maximum core temperature of 68ºC. As for its E-cores, these were running at 4.2GHz at 1.55V, hitting 52ºC at worst. The CPU was being cooled by an AIO cooler and running on an Asus ROG Strix B660-F Gaming motherboard with 32GB of DDR5-5200.

In Cinebench R23, the overclocked CPU scored 2,333 points, a slight increase over the leaked scores with the CPU running at stock settings. The small performance gain makes sense since the maximum core speed was only increased by 0.2GHz over stock.

The first 13th Gen Core chips will launch this week alongside new Z790 motherboards.

KitGuru says: Are you planning on getting a 13th Gen Core ‘K' chip? Are you planning to overclock it? Will you go for a Z790 board, or do you plan to get a B660 with BCLK overclocking capabilities?
