AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX Overclocked to 5.955 GHz On All Cores

Yes, ALL 32 cores (64 threads) running at 5.955 GHz … for real!. Seriously, Intel you’ll need to step up your game!

Hardwarebot has graced us with the confirmed feat of an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX reaching almost 6 GHz across all of its cores. The overclocking effort, supported by an extreme overclocking setup with liquid nitrogen – and as such, worth more for the sheer PR and “fun tech factor” associated with it. Overall, the overclock up to 5.955 GHz on all cores amounts to a practically 100% increased clockspeed over its base, all-core 3 GHz base clocks.

The overclocking effort was achieved bu user IvanCupa on MSI’s X399 MEG Creation motherboard paired with 8 GB of single-channel DDR4 memory (easier on the CPU to support than if more channels were populated). We’ll see whether this chip can be taken even closer to the stratosphere than this – remember it’s only been a few days since the chip’s release to the wild. “Tinkerers be tinkering still.”
