Clock Speeds

As we’ve come to expect from our run-through the newly released Z790s and our Core i9-14900K, you need to undervolt it to obtain the best performance because it runs so hot when under severe loading. The MSI Tomahawk Max is no exception, pushing our two best cores to their 6 GHz turbo limit, whilst responding well to an undervolt in the temperature stakes. As you’ll see later on.
