Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX 5GHz: keeph8n broke the Geekbench3 record

As I speculated yesterday, following his warm-up run, keeph8n switched to liquid nitrogen and overclocked the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX to a significant 5000MHz, delivering truly impressive results. See for yourself:

First place among Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX processors, first place among all 32-core CPUs, and finally, the most astonishing feat – 3rd place among absolutely all CPUs regardless of core count!

Here's what the American enthusiast wrote in the comments section for his record:

Thanks to Kingpin Cooling (the famous overclocker who started producing his own cooling systems and accessories) for the awesome TREX Pot (liquid nitrogen pot) and KPX Paste (thermal paste). Thanks to everyone who pushed me and believed in me to achieve these results. I'm so glad you guys are in my life. I also want to thank everyone who came to the stream tonight to see me do it live.

The test bench hasn't changed since yesterday and includes an ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme motherboard, 32GB of memory across four G.SKILL modules (single-rank Samsung chips, F4-3600C17-8GTZR), and a GeForce GT 1030 placeholder graphics card.

I have a strong feeling this is just the beginning, and within a few days, keeph8n will break many more records.

Stay tuned to our news, and you won't miss any of the American enthusiast's new achievements!
