AMD Ryzen 9 3900: Splave Breaks Overclocking Records at 5.5GHz

American overclocker Splave has set two new records in the AMD Ryzen 9 3900 processor category, and, even more impressively, two global records among all 12-core CPUs.

Splave achieved his first world record in the popular Cinebench R15 benchmark. He pushed the processor to 5525 MHz using liquid nitrogen for this feat:

This ultimately earned him 4399 points. For the second record, in Geekbench3, Splave maintained a stable chip frequency of 5575 MHz. This is slightly higher than the previous result, though it's worth noting the processor load is also significantly lower in this benchmark:

The final scores were 6967 points in the single-threaded test and 78773 points in the multi-threaded test.

Splave's test bench consisted of the following components:

Motherboard - ASRock X570 Aqua
RAM - two 8GB Team Group A2 BDIE (TEAMGROUP-UD4-4800) modules
Power supply - Enermax Maxtytan 1250W
Thermal paste - Grizzly Kryo LHE
