AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series Zen 5 CPUs have shattered overclocking barriers, achieving speeds exceeding 7 GHz. The X670E Ace motherboard played a crucial role in pushing these high-end processors to their limits. Notably, the Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core and Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core chips were successfully overclocked beyond the 7 GHz mark with the aid of liquid nitrogen (LN2) for extreme cooling.
MSI, the motherboard manufacturer, proudly announced that overclockers had successfully identified the peak performance potential of these CPUs with their MEG X670E Ace motherboard. Prior to these benchmarks, AMD’s 9000 series chips had reached 7 GHz, but only on a 6-core processor. A 6.6 GHz clock speed was achieved on a Ryzen 9950X. However, overclockers have now pushed the boundaries further, achieving a remarkable 7.45 GHz on the Ryzen 9 9950X and a phenomenal 7.40 GHz on the Ryzen 9 9900X.
These impressive overclocking achievements weren’t limited to just clock speed. MSI also reported exceptional benchmark scores using Cinebench R23, R20, and R15. The Ryzen 9 9950X achieved an astounding 60,185 points in R23, 23,276 points in R20, and 9,341 points in R15. The Ryzen 9 9900X also delivered exceptional scores: 46,281 points in R23, 18,057 points in R20, and 7,203 points in R15. These results highlight the exceptional performance capabilities of the Ryzen 9000 series CPUs, even at these extreme overclocking levels. The combination of high clock speeds and exceptional benchmark scores underscores the power and potential of AMD’s latest Zen 5 architecture, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in high-end desktop computing.
