Ryzen 9950X running at 7.55GHz breaks five world records

Overclockers “safedisk” and “elmor” broke various world records with an overclocked AMD Ryzen 9 9950X pushed to 7.55GHz on an ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard.

According to the various entries (CB R20, CB R23, 7-zip, Geekbench 3, and HWBOT x265), the system was cooled using liquid nitrogen to maintain temperatures as low as -189°C. Moreover, the entries show the testing setup featured 32GB of DDR5-6200 memory with timings of 30-36-36-34-62 and a 256GB Kingston SSD.

To achieve the 7.55GHz clock frequency, the overclockers had to deactivate SMT to enhance single-threaded performance, allowing all 16 CPU cores to operate without interruption from hyperthreading. The overclocking involved setting an x75 multiplier and a voltage setting of 1.025V, allowing the CPU to hit a peak frequency of 7548.68MHz, a record for Ryzen processors. Moreover, it also scored a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 60,709 points.

Not stopping at just frequency and Cinebench R23 results, the team also clinched a world record Geekbench 3 Multi-Core score of 170,646 points, a 7-Zip score of 321,970 MIPS, a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 23,550 points, and an impressive HWBot x265 4K benchmark of 77.57FPS. The record 16-core results were achieved by safedisk, while the frequency record was handled by elmor.

KitGuru says: Do you think the upcoming Intel Core Ultra 9 285K will snatch some of these newly set records by the Ryzen 9 9950X?
