AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Hits 5.80 GHz All-Core Overclock

An AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-core processor was spotted by TUM_APISAK hitting an impressive 5.80 GHz all-core overclock. This was made possibly by running the chip at 1.4 V, something that should normally scorch the chip close to its 95°C Tjmax point, but the CPU-Z Validation page reveals a temperature of 39.5°C. It's highly likely that some exotic cooling method is being used, such as a chiller (a cooler that uses pressurized refrigerant to cool. Sadly there's no CPU-Z Bench run associated with the validation to confirm if the setup is stable. Elsewhere, we see Sampson post an impressive 5.45 GHz all-core OC, and this time it's stable with a Cinebench R23 score of 40498 points in the multi-threaded test.
