American overclocker Mikecdm has set a record in the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor rank in the PCMark10 Express discipline. In order to climb to the first line, the enthusiast used liquid nitrogen and dispersed the 16-core 32-thread monster to a frequency of 5600 MHz:
The result of this Mikecdm bench session was a result of 9097 points.
The enthusiast’s test setup consisted of the following components:
- Motherboard – ASRock B550 Taichi;
- RAM – 2 x 16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws V;
- Video card – Sapphire Radeon RX 580;
- Storage – 59 GB Areca Slow Drive 555.
The guys from OVIZ Hardware Lab also decided to try their hand at the PCMark10 Express discipline, but they chose the 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900X chip as the processor.
A two-section water cooling system was responsible for cooling the 5900X processor, thanks to which overclockers were able to increase the frequency to 5111MHz:
The result of this bench session of the OVIZ Hardware Lab team was the result of 8756 points.
Quite a noticeable difference from the frequency that Mikecdm was able to squeeze out of his processor using liquid nitrogen. Nevertheless, even such a seemingly very low frequency (especially by the standards of extreme overclocking) was enough to claim first place both in the Ryzen 9 5900X rank and in the rank of 12-core processors.
The enthusiast’s test setup consisted of the following components:
- Motherboard – ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero;
- RAM – 2 x 8GB G.SKILL;
- Video card – AMD Radeon R9 290X;
- Storage – 280 GB NVMe INTEL SSDPE21D28.
