An interesting new feature popped up within MSI's Click BIOS 5 interface recently—chi11eddog uploaded this discovery to social media with a message: "BIOS screenshot from a friend who just got new Z790 Ace Max mobo. 6.3 GHz in the "P-core Beyond 6 GHz+" menu. For 14th Gen?" It is suspected that MSI has already implemented a nice QoL update for a refresh of its top-of-the-line MAX motherboard series. A simplification of the overclocking process for Intel K-series processors is visibly in operation (at a menu level), courtesy of the leaked screenshot, but you are paying through the teeth for this level of treatment. MSI's MEG Z790 ACE E-ATX motherboard, in its current incarnation, has an MSRP of $699.99. Who knows when a trickle-down effect will apply to lower placed mainboard families.
The refreshed board seems to prepped for upper crust "Raptor Lake Refresh" SKUs including the 14th Core i9-14900K and KF variants—according to previous leaks, these potent processors are capable of hitting clocks of 6.0 GHz and a little bit beyond that (as suggested by MSI's P-Core 6 GHz+ option). VideoCardz notes that Team Blue's current-gen Core i9-13900KS CPU: "offers such high clock speeds at a premium price, making it the top desktop SKU from Intel," but the upcoming 14th Gen flagship chips will be the first to hit such impressive clocks—via Thermal Velocity Boost—without inclusion in an elite variant tier: Special Edition KS.
