News Intel Core i9-12900KS Hits 7,450 MHz on LN2

[Admin]

Achieving 7,450 MHz meant limiting the CPU to 1C/2T in this instance. However, it has been behind some more meaningful world records like Cinebench 2003 and Geekbench 4 multi-core scores.

Whatever is in that first picture looks so cool. You have to be a real legend to passively cool a 12900ks at 7.45ghz

That first pic is a LN pot used to cool a CPU to sub ambient temps. It is in no way passively cooled and impossible to passively cool at those frequencies and voltages on this planet.

isn't it technically passively cooled because there is no fan and just a thing on it acting as a heatsink?

Maybe I'm wrong about the definition of passively cooled.

No active means there is something more than just contact to the cooler air of the surrounding atmosphere that creates "coolness" this could be a fan removing the heat or some liquid that transfers the heat somewhere else or it could be LN2 which also removes heat, they all actively decrease the temps.
Passive is only having a big slab of metal that is only cooled by the surrounding air being cooler.

Nice Core results !!!

It's cooled by phase changing, or the act of LN2 boiling from the thing. As it still needs an external component (boiling LN2), I'd argue it's not passive cooling.
