AMD Ryzen 9 7950X in overclocking test
AMD Zen4 claiming world records with AIO cooler.
The flagship 16-core AMD Raphael CPU needs no exotic coolers to break world records. In total, four records have now been broken by Sampson and blueleader who got the green light to share their Ryzen 9 7950X results. The fact that all four have been broken with the latest CPU is not impressive, but the fact that none used liquid nitrogen certainly is.
Using either AORUS X670E Xtreme, ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme, ASRock’s X670E Taichi or MSI X670E MEG ACE motherboards and Corsair H115i liquid cooler AIO cooler, both overclockers managed to break four records: Cinebench R15, R20, R23 and 7-zip.
