AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 6-Core “Zen 5” CPU Overclocked To 7 GHz

AMD Zen 5 CPUs Overclocked To The Fastest LN2 Frequency Yet, Ryzen 5 9600X Tuned To 7 GHz

 

During AMD's Tech Day, the company hosted an LN2 overclocking session where the flagship Zen 5 chip, the Ryzen 9 9950X, was overclocked to 6.6 GHz across all 16 cores. Now, the most entry-level chip in the lineup, the Ryzen 5 9600X, has broken the Zen 5 overclocking record & pushed to an OC speed of 7 GHz.

 

Do you have an LN2 setup at home?  Me neither....Do you have an LN2 setup at home? Me neither....

 

 

The overclocking achievement comes from Alva Jonathan aka Lucky Noob who used the MSI MEG X670E ACE motherboard to reach the 7 GHz clock speed using LN2 cooling (validation here). All of the 6 CPU cores were set to an x70 multiplier with the reference bus speed of 100 MHz. The setup also featured a pair of 32 GB DDR5 memory.

 

With this overclock, the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X "Zen 5" CPU now sits as the fastest 6-core chip in Cinebench 2024 multi-core and Y-Cruncher PI-BBP-10B benchmarks. ASUS's in-house overclocked, SAFEDISK, also set two new records for the Ryzen 5 9600X, claiming top spots in the X265 1080P & 4K benchmarks.

 

This is just the start of Zen 5's overclocking spree. The AMD Ryzen CPUs have yet to break past the 8 GHz barrier but 7 GHz is a decent LN2 showcase for the Zen 5 chips. We can expect higher clocks once more professional overclockers post their results. The AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs peaked at 6350 MHz while the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs peaked at 7471 MHz. The Ryzen 9 9950X & the Ryzen 9 9900X launch next week so we look forward to more records achieved using the Zen 5 architecture.

You can now order some of the AMD Ryzen 9000 series CPUs on Newegg's site.  Just sayin'......

 

Now somewhat available for your new builds...Now somewhat available for your new builds...

I'm more worried that my wife will get the idea that I can be overclocked too.  Being retired makes it harder to say that you don't have the time......
