Ryzen 9 5950X easily bypasses its predecessor in extreme overclocking – 6362 MHz mark is taken
Motherboard manufacturers are preparing for the announcement of new processors well in advance. While engineers are adapting the BIOS of compatible motherboard models, narrow specialists are preparing for new overclocking records. Court overclockers have already been able to raise the frequency of the Ryzen 9 5950X to 6362 MHz while maintaining the activity of all sixteen cores.
Even in the morning, MSI announced from social media pages that its in-house extreme overclocking specialist managed to raise the frequency of the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X model to 6351 MHz, but after a few hours the information lost its relevance, as the “vanity baton” was picked up by Gigabyte Technology with an overclocking record. corresponding to 6362 MHz. In both cases, the processor was cooled with liquid nitrogen, all sixteen cores, and thirty-two streams retained activity.
Both overclockers used motherboards based on the AMD X570 chipset, in the first case it was MSI MEG X570 Godlike, in the second – Gigabyte X570 AORUS MASTER Reaktor 2.0. The Ryzen 9 3950X processor of the Matisse generation with Zen 2 architecture is similar attempts were limited to 6074 MHz, so progress in frequency potential is difficult to deny. Another thing is that it can be fully revealed only with the use of an adequate cooling system, but this is a matter of secondary importance.
The Ryzen 9 5900X processor has not yet recorded a record in frequency, but in other disciplines, it was able to work at frequencies of about 6.1 GHz under load. Ryzen 7 5800X achieved similar successes, and the youngest six-core Ryzen 5 5600X set its overclocking record a few days ago – 6124 MHz. Since the processors have just reached the overclocking specialists, statistics will be updated on a daily basis.
