Gigabyte Announces Instant 6 GHz Mode for the Intel Core i9-13900K on its Z790 Motherboards
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, today announced the Instant 6 GHz technology which is exclusively designed for performance enhancement of Intel Core i9-13900K processor. By simply updating the latest BIOS on GIGABYTE's Z790 motherboards and activating related settings, users can boost the performance of Intel Core i9-13900K to 6 GHz in a snap. Other than the Turbo Boost mode, GIGABYTE Instant 6 GHz technology can unleash the potential power of the processor to boost the single-core performance up to 3% higher, which leading up to experiencing the unparalleled performance of future processors.
The lately launched Intel Core i9-13900K processor enables users to enjoy O.C. performance in an easier way. Using GIGABYTE's latest Instant 6 GHz technology, the system can automatically tweak CPU voltage and Vcore Load Line Calibration to detect the most two optimized cores running at 6 GHz frequency. Instead of suffering from complex O.C settings, users can enjoy effortless Overclocking by simply updating the latest BIOS on GIGABYTE's Z790 motherboards and activating the Instant 6 GHz option in the BIOS. This further delivers a 3% performance boost on one single core, and provides an O.C. edition-like experience on i9-13900K processor. The latest GIGABYTE Z790 motherboards ascend to a new level with their exclusive VRM design, thermal design, and convenience. The BIOS support Instant 6 GHz technology of Z790 motherboards has been updated on the GIGABYTE official website, users can upgrade BIOS with Q-Flash or Q-Flash Plus.

Auto OC is not real overclocking.
I wonder how many people will RMA their boards because their socket melted.
You see how it flatlines past 300W and adding more power results in next to nothing? Yeah reaching 6GHz is going to be a 500W job, most likely.
So, if you extrapolate the CB R23 results, a 6GHz OC might get the 13900K 40,750 points. Meanwhile, a 7950X is getting 94% at likely just one third the power draw. It may no longer be the fastest consumer CPU, but the 7950X sure as hell is a better CPU for consumers. For a 6GHz 13900K you're going to need a custom loop with two large radiators, a high-flow CPU block, oversized tubing throughout, and a powerful pump, if not two pumps in series. Suddenly the cost of the CPU and motherboard are irrelevant because you need to spend $1500 and a few days of your time on the cooling alone.
Then again, looks like its only for light 1-2 core loads, so its really only a 200mhz overclock, shouldnt be that bad.
Also as not all chips are made equal mobo manufacturers tune their settings to work with the worse samples, your CPU could work at 1.4 or 1.25V but the auto oc will send 1.4 regardless of that, the only way to know what's the voltage wall for a certain frequency is by tuning it yourself.
6GHz is honestly placebo, like 5 was back in the day, there was no actual difference between a chip running at 4.8 vs at 5, in benchmarks the score would be like 4 points higher.
WHY?!
Giga missed that intel killed it's oc policies, what do they care they don't warranty cpu's they barely warranty their products :laugh:

Irrelevant, anyway as HUB have retracted those results.
For the record, there are ways to say what you said without being quite so accusatory and rude. I screencapped that from Youtube under an hour ago, so it's still the current "live" version and Steve from HUB only posted his retraction on Twitter a few hours prior. If you have a problem with HUB then fine, but make a valid case for calling BS.
It's worth pointing out that it's equally stupid to only accept information from one source. The staff of TPU frequently comment that you should read around for a variety of opinions and make your own damn mind up. TPU is great, but it's not the one and only gospel that invalidates all other reviews in case of disagreement. Reviewers are, after all, only human and mistakes get made. What matters is how those mistakes are handled and in defense of both TPU and HUB, they have a good track record.
