There's no absolute theoretical limit on frequency of EM waves.
The highest energy (which is to say, highest frequency) photons I know of come from cosmic rays and particle accelerator experiments.

Normally it would be Gamma Rays or Very Hard X-Rays, but some Cosmic rays are thought to have massive amounts of energy and extremely high frequencies, higher than even the strongest gammas.

I think u are confused in this. First of all you should know the relation, means frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. so, in electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength of GAMMA RAYS (about 1 angstrom) is smaller so it has greater frequency among all other waves.
