Austrian overclocker noizemaker has broken the two-month-old record held by Brazilian overclocker NoMS, securing a gold medal in the 6-core category of the Geekbench 3 - Multi Core benchmark.
Using a liquid nitrogen pot for cooling, the enthusiast managed to push his Ryzen 5 3600XT CPU to 5698 MHz. The core voltage was set to 1.696V, and the RAM was clocked at 4600 MHz with timings of 14-13-13-28-38 1T.
The key to this result was combining high CPU and RAM clock speeds. For comparison, the previous record holder in the 6-core category, Brazilian enthusiast NoMS, achieved a much higher CPU clock of 5750 MHz. However, his memory topped out at 4333 MHz with 14-13-13-24-40 1T timings. Since Geekbench 3 heavily relies on both CPU speed and memory bandwidth, the faster RAM made all the difference.
The test bench consisted of the following components:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact;
RAM: two 8GB sticks of G.Skill Trident Z RGB (F4-4000C15-8GTZR);
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (just a basic display adapter);
OS: Windows 10.
