AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X Overclock to 5.88 GHz

PC enthusiast "TSAIK" with access to AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X chips put them through rigorous overclocking to achieve speeds as high as 5.88 GHz on both, with all cores enabled, demonstrating the improved overclocking headroom AMD achieved by switching to the newer 12 nm process. The 2700X achieved 5884 MHz with a 58.25X multiplier on a 101.02 MHz base clock, and a scorching 1.76V core voltage. The 2600X, on the other hand, reached 5882 MHz riding on the same 58.25X multiplier with 101 MHz base clock, and a slightly higher 1.768V. Both chips have all their cores and SMT enabled. The 2700X was overclocked on the MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC, while an MSI X470 Gaming Plus powered the 2600X overclock. A single 8 GB G.Skill Trident-Z DDR4 module was used on both feats. As expected, a liquid nitrogen evaporator was used on both chips.

bugWth, 1.7V will fry that within a year.
Knock 11 months of that and you'd be close. Without LN2, it will fry in seconds.

AMD clocks high under LN2, oh no, better throw shit like apes, we can't have competition.......

Some people here are acting like someone stole their candy. Or is it that it didn't clock higher in this every day solution.......

Or peed on their rig Lol. No company guarantees how high their parts overclock, that's what made it so special then, but now it is so mainstream everyone expects parts to do this and that it gets boring now. I'd rather have stability in a part than run it till it pops lol, that goes for both camps.

Miss the Skt A Days, even wouldnt mind goin back to dipswitch OC

I wouldn't mind, either.
I remember when 1GHz was fast!! I had a 2600+mobile chip, on air, stable at 1.8 GHz. Topped out around 2.2 and would rock XP for about 2 hours! LOL.

Vayra86Its funny how a soldered Ryzen is temperature limited at such a low frequency.
Funny is so much hate towards an underdog that miraculously delivered competitive products and re-shaped the market.
Oh wait, that's more of a tragic, than funny...
lynx29but probably still beats it in cinebench single score! LOL
For some puzzling reason reasons more cores do not help in single core scores.

I started messing about with PC's about the Duron 650 days and it was amazing fun! :) I still have my XP-M 2500, it'll run quite happily at 2.4Ghz and I think under water with 2.3vcore, it was hitting just shy of 3Ghz :D Gotta love AMD, I just wish they had been more competitive during the Core Duo days...

But I think I'm definitely going to have to buy one of the 2700's for my daughter.. It's just too nice to turn away!!

Well shit, I'm gonna run right out and buy a LN2 setup just to run Minecraft!

its nice to know that AMD chips seem to do better with more quality cooling.

Don't all chips do that?
What's nice to know is how much better they can do with better cooling.

bugI can't edit my post above, but what do you know? Anandtech says the same thing I did, the same day I did (though I've said it before, too): www.anandtech.com/show/12542/overclocking-the-amd-ryzen-apus-guide-results
You're right, I know nothing. I am saying there are cheap-o coolers and there are better quality coolers and AMD does better with better quality cooling, you get what you pay for. I'm not saying AMD is better than Intel, if thats what you are implying. how can you read my original statement anyway else?

Oh, that wasn't directed at you at all. I wanted to add that as an edit to my post from yesterday (#8), but I can't edit that anymore.

I think you misread my comment. It was aimed mostly at the idiots who scream 'delid everything Intel because the TIM is crap, they are cheap give me solder'.

Its funny how your red tinted glasses see everything as a stab @ AMD...
