AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X OCed on LN2 to 5.88GHz

This all-cores-enabled figure is pretty good for one of the first OC attempts seen.

Read more.

"Turning to the 6C/6T" this sort of implies the chip is meant to have 6 threads, not that it was configured with SMT off.

Ugh I could quadruple my thread count and plausibly hold the same single thread core speed with a 2700X stock on X470. And the CPU would cost a mere 50 quid over what I paid for 6600K. I don't need to do it, but, this burns a little.

The benchmarks ive seen show AMD is quite simply blowing Intel out the water. Seems like they would be more useful for hexus to post that meaningless LN2 overclocking that applies to literally no-one reading it.

There's an NDA on posting benchmark results.

So slightly worse than a 1600X which hit 5.905GHz a year ago? First hit on Google, there may be better:

I think that maybe the exception rather than the rule, most results I've looked at show averages for LN2 on the original Ryzen were around the 5.3Ghz range with 1.97v (ish).

You could at least play fair and link the Hexus story that your digital trends link thanks for the info!!!

EDIT: I eagerly await the results of der8auer being unleashed on the 2nd gen chips :devilish:

Not knowing much about extreme overclocking is the voltage difference (R1 average 1.97v vs R2 1.76v) down to processor node size (smaller ones can't handle higher voltages), motherboards only allowing a percentage higher than default, less effective packaging not allowing the LN2 to cool as well as previously, something else or a combination of things.

lol, I thought I did play fair by remarking how little effort I put into the search :D

Derbouer hit 6Ghz

Worth embedding the above der8auer YT link I think:
