Rearmed DayZ Hits 5.9GHz with VYKIX Overclocked Hosting

“Built for speed. Optimized for survival.”

At VYKIX, we’re not just providing hardware — we’re engineering high-performance weaponry for the DayZ hosting battlefield.

That’s why we introduced our latest overclocked beasts: Intel Core i9-13900K machines, built to handle the most demanding DayZ servers — and then some.

🧠 Why Overclocking Matters for DayZ Hosting

If you’ve hosted DayZ Standalone before, you know one thing for sure:

This game eats CPU for breakfast.

DayZ’s server engine is notoriously dependent on single-thread performance. While most modern games spread their load across multiple cores, DayZ clings to one or two like they’re the last can of beans in Berezino.

What does that mean for server admins?

• Low clock speeds = rubberbanding, lag, desync, frustration
• High clocks = smooth 127-player mayhem

💪 Enter the i9-13900K — Overclocked and Unleashed

We started with a monster CPU — Intel's i9-13900K — and made it even faster.

With:

• 24 cores / 32 threads
• 8 performance cores (P-cores) and 16 efficiency cores (E-cores)
• A single-thread benchmark of 4,669
• And a multi-core score of 59,773

...this chip is already a top-tier performer. But for DayZ, we took it further — all the way to 5.9+ GHz.

🔬 The Setup: Built to Dominate

We conducted benchmarking and performance tests at our Frankfurt location using:

• Intel Core i9-13900K (overclocked to 5.9 GHz)
• 64GB DDR5 RAM at 6000MHz
• 1TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe
• Custom water cooling system
• MSI Z690/Z790 PRO motherboard with OC voltage control & VRM cooling
• Backed by 10Gbps NICs and our 17Tbps Anycast-powered network

Rearmed DayZ was the perfect candidate to push this machine to the limit — and the results were jaw-dropping.

🧪 Real Results: 20%+ Performance Gains in DayZ

The performance delta between 12th-gen CPUs and our overclocked 13900K stack was immediately noticeable.

With our tuning:

• Rearmed DayZ saw a 20% performance uplift
• Peak player counts remained stable, smooth, and snappy
• Server-side FPS and responsiveness drastically improved
• No stutters. No hangs. No “maybe restart it and hope it works.”

🌡️ How We Pulled It Off: Precision Overclocking

Overclocking to 5.9GHz is no joke. Here’s how we made it rock-solid:

1. Cooling: Custom water loop w/ large radiators & fans kept temps under control
2. Motherboard: We handpicked boards with proper VRM delivery, sensors, and overclocking checkpoints
3. BIOS/Software Tweaks: Fine-tuned voltage, PLL, and frequency settings using tools like Intel XTU
4. Stress Testing: We ran the gauntlet — Prime95, OCCT, MemTest, and 48+ hours of actual DayZ server uptime under load

This wasn’t guesswork. This was a methodical performance hunt.

🎯 The Takeaway: Rearmed DayZ Levels Up

Rearmed DayZ’s admins reported:

• Rock-solid uptime during full pop
• Noticeable improvements in server-side desync and client FPS
• Smoother, cleaner player experiences across the board

In their words:

“The best hardware we’ve ever hosted DayZ on. Period.”

⚡ Why It Matters for YOU

Overclocking isn’t just for flexing benchmark scores. It’s directly tied to real in-game performance, especially on CPU-bound games like DayZ, Rust, FiveM, and even modded Minecraft.

When you’re running 100+ mods, 120 players, and persistent bases? You need every MHz you can get.
