An experienced Indonesian overclocker with the pseudonym Lucky_n00b registered the validation result of the Ryzen 5 5600X processor at 6124 MHz in the CPU-Z Database. All six cores and twelve threads are functioning in the specified mode. It can be assumed that liquid nitrogen was used when overclocking the processor since the existing Ryzen 5 3600XT processors got to such frequencies using this cooling method. In the experiment, we used the MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk motherboard based on the AMD B550 chipset, so it cannot be ruled out that more expensive platforms based on AMD X570 will slightly improve the frequency result of the processor.

By the way, in the HWBot database, the record frequency for the Ryzen 5 3600XT is 6155 MHz, while the processor combines the activity of six cores and six threads. The other six threads had to be disabled to ensure the stability of the processor.

In other words, the Ryzen 5 5600XT does not yet show obvious progress in frequency potential, although it should be released on a more advanced version of 7nm technology. A clearer idea of ​​the extreme overclocking capabilities of Ryzen processors will be formed as statistics and counters fill up, there are only a few days left before the start of this process.
