Overview / Usage

With the 13900KS overclocking at 6.0Ghz out of the box, Justin over at RobeyTech wanted to see if we could build something to challenge this processor to it's highest overclocking potential. The coldest place we could find was the Las Vegas Ice Bar, and it turned out that the CPU release was during the same time we were all going to be in Vegas for CES. With an ambient temperature of -5 degrees Celsius, we knew we could get some serious numbers in this place.
