MSI overclock AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D past 7.2 GHz at 1.9V
MSI pushes crazy clock speeds with AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D with LN2 cooling
Using the X870E GODLIKE motherboard from MSI, the Taiwanese overclocker TSAIK has managed to overclock AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D past 7.2 GHz. This overclock was achieved using liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling with a CPU voltage of 1.969 volts.
AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is indeed overclockable, and while this level of overclocking isn’t viable for mainstream users, it highlights how far AMD’s X3D technology has come. Until now, AMD’s X3D CPUs have not been overclockable. Now, the series can be used with liquid nitrogen cooling with extreme voltages without issue. That’s a far cry from the days where even mainstream overclocks were banned.

As mentioned before, this overclock was achieved with liquid nitrogen cooling. It was also achieved with SMT (Simultanious Multi-Threading) disabled. This is a record speed for AMD’s new X3D CPU, and one has to wonder if any performance records will be broken using overclocked X3D CPUs. Is AMD’s V-Cache useful for any popular benchmarking applications? Will X3D soon break records?

While this record Ryzen 7 9800X3D overclock from MSI is fun, it isn’t that useful. That said, it is fun to imagine what a 7.2 GHz Ryzen 9800X3D CPU would be like for gaming. That’s an almost 40% overclock over this CPU’s 5.2GHz boost clock speed! Just imagine how that would impact CPU-limited games!
