Niuulh breaks keeph8n's AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX record

A month after American overclocker keeph8n set his record, French enthusiast Niuulh broke it. This time, the lead was quite significant: while keeph8n's previous first-place score was 6214 points, the Frenchman managed an impressive 6331 points:

Niuulh's significant achievement came courtesy of a Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX frequency that was noticeably higher than his opponent's chip. The French enthusiast pushed it to 5230MHz, compared to keeph8n's 5045MHz.

Both the CPU and RAM were cooled with liquid nitrogen pots, but LN2 was only applied to the CPU. The RAM was left with passive cooling.

Unfortunately, Niuulh didn't list the components used, so, as usual, we had to scour the screenshot. From it, we could only glean a few details:

• Motherboard: ASRock X399 Taichi

• RAM: 4x 8GB DDR4 G.Skill OC World Cup 2019

• PSU: Seasonic Prime 1300W

Most likely, former gold medalist keeph8n has already prepared his Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX for further experiments. However, the American might need to find a better 2970WX sample to surpass the Frenchman's current achievement.
