Enthusiasts will be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/how-to\/how-to-get-started-with-overclocking\">overclock<\/a> this chip considerably with the right cooling, reaching far faster clocks no doubt \u2013 and possibly setting new records.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/intel-raptor-lake-rumors-and-what-we-want-to-see\">Raptor Lake<\/a> is impressive silicon for overclockers, evidenced by the levels the 13900K itself has already been pushed to: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/watch-out-amd-overclocked-intel-raptor-lake-flagship-cpu-has-blasted-past-9ghz\">over 9GHz, no less<\/a> (with liquid nitrogen), the fastest ever overclock witnessed with a desktop chip.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the price, you can hardly call it cheap, but the Alder Lake equivalent \u2013 the 12900KS \u2013 hit shelves costing $739, so the $699 price tag for the 13900KS is actually 5% cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>We were expecting this pepped-up flagship to cost just as much as the Alder Lake KS version (if not a bit more), so this is a minor pleasant surprise here. (Not that it\u2019s remotely affordable, of course \u2013 but you wouldn\u2019t expect that with a Core i9 limited edition).<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, being a limited edition CPU \u2013 and very possibly a target for scalpers \u2013 we don\u2019t know if the 13900KS will actually sell at the MSRP. It might become the victim of price gouging and inflation, at least right out of the gate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" data-reactroot id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent\">\n<section>\n<p>Sign up to get breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis and more, plus the hottest tech deals!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div data-reactroot id=\"slice-container-authorBio\">\n<p>Darren is a freelancer writing news and features for TechRadar (and occasionally T3) across a broad range of computing topics including CPUs, GPUs, various other hardware, VPNs, antivirus and more.
