Ryzen 9 Overclocking Records: l0ud_sil3nc3 with Liquid Nitrogen

American overclocker l0ud_sil3nc3 continued his exploration of the new 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 3950X's overclocking potential, publishing two more impressive results today.

In both instances, the chip was overclocked to 5548.7 MHz using liquid nitrogen. Interestingly, this clock speed isn't significantly different from what we've seen on lower-tier Ryzen 3000 processors, as you'll indirectly see below.

The American enthusiast's benchmark session resulted in gold in both Geekbench3 and Cinebench R15, topping the charts for both the CPU model and all 16-core processors. What's more, l0ud_sil3nc3 secured an incredible 17th place overall in Geekbench3 among chips with any core/thread count, which is truly remarkable.

As a bonus, l0ud_sil3nc also snatched the top spot from fellow overclocker Splave in the Geekbench3 benchmark for the Ryzen 9 3900's model and 12-core categories. He achieved this by pushing the chip to 5523.7 MHz:

Once again, the enthusiast didn't provide a detailed breakdown of his test rig, only casually mentioning the ASRock X570 Aqua motherboard, G.Skill Trident Z Royal 4800 c18 RAM, and a 1200-watt Corsair AX1200i power supply in the comments.

It's exceptionally interesting that the potential of a CPU with two 8-core, 16-thread chiplets is roughly on par with processors equipped with just one such chiplet.

AMD has clearly done a tremendous job binning for its flagship Ryzen 9 3950X processor.
