KaRtA: wPrime 1024m Gold on Ryzen 9 3900X

Today, Australian enthusiast KaRtA had an incredibly productive benchmarking session with a new AMD processor. He claimed first place in the wPrime - 1024m discipline for the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X category, pushing the chip to 5550 MHz using liquid nitrogen.

If that first place in a relatively new CPU category wasn't impressive enough, KaRtA's result also secured him second place overall among all 12-core CPUs.

Here's what the overclocker wrote about his result on HWBot:

First encounter with Zen2 under 'cold'. Good session, didn't waste a huge amount of LN2. Just poured, booted, and went. FCLK CB is painful, and waiting to -38 for boot is simply wasteful. I need a few more things to try and make a better mount; this one was garbage.

The Australian also simultaneously secured third place in the Cinebench R15 discipline across both categories, which is a remarkably good result:

The record-holder's test rig included the following components:

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero
RAM: DDR4 G.SKILL Trident Z
PSU: MasterWatt Maker 1200W

Unfortunately, the author did not specify the other components.
