After dominating extreme overclocking with the first wave of Skylake-X CPUs, we've taken the latest 14- and 18-core models to sub-zero extremes.

The ROG overclocking team used our Rampage VI Apex to set new performance records for the X299 platform. See how we did it.

der8auer overclocked AMD's new Ryzen 5 1600X to the limit on our Crosshair VI Hero. See what the CPU can do on LN2.

The best CPU frequency achieved with R7 1800X and elmor reached 2454cb in Cinebench R15.

You might think world records in the tech industry don’t make sense because you can’t reproduce them at home. But making a CPU run faster than anyone else is like trying to sprint 100 meters in less than 9.58 seconds. Overclocking doesn't derogate from this rule.

A big milestone has been reached by the number one overclocker, Dancop. After trying  for weeks, he finally reached the 10K score with a single GPU on Unigine Heaven - Xtreme Preset and tear apart the previous World Record hold with the power of two GPUs. 

Judging from the reception since IFA 2015, the ROG GX700 ultra-performance gaming laptop has been deemed one of the most highly-anticipated laptops this year, and arguably this decade (ROG is turning 10 soon!). GX700 has a game-changer which has opened the door for laptops to have a whole new level of cooling, and thus potential for the highest possible performance. Here, we want to treat you to some high-quality pictures from every angle! Enjoy.

See what happens when you put nine of the world's best overclockers in the same room with the latest 6th Gen. Intel CPUs, new ROG Maximus VIII Series Z170 mobos, liquid nitrogen and liquid helium.
