1.55V is a bit more "realistic". :D

Only 1.552v vcore, for water that's no issue once you get into 1.6v+ territory it's highly likely to be LN2 / chiller
Except that the OP showed it was 1.7+volts and we have no way of knowing if that is on air, water or LN2. With Ryzen3xxx being on a refined 7nm process it might be possible 1.5v could be on air and the 1.7v in the OP was on water. We won't know for sure until it's disclosed.

It's also been floating around that TSMC is using a new formulation of elements in the process that reduces resistance in the circuit pathways, which would have the direct effect of reducing the heat generated by component electrical resistance. This is a problem that Intel and Global Foundries have been unable to solve. It's not that either one can't go down to 7nm, it's that the chemistry formulations they're using can not withstand the heat naturally generated by the elements within the circuit components at the clock speeds needed to compete.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Post 26 shows the 1.55V 4.4ghz and is likely on water. The 1.7xV (if its reading right) and 5.4ghz is on extreme cooling.

I know what a 3900x is capable of under ambient water....weve seen other leaks too using extreme cooling and similar voltage and clocks.

Ah, that's right you have your own review site. This'll be interesting to see the results of.

Your guess, what would you think that "extreme cooling" might be? LN2? Refrigerated liquid/water?

The 1.7v will certainly be sub-zero or LN2, I was referring to the 1.552v being normal water has it's easy to handle under a good loop.

I wouldnt call it easy... from what I know, that going to be close to topped out on high end water.

Info isnt from there... but we'll know soon. :)

LN2 is what the articles say.

I must be missing it. Btarunr didn't mention the cooling in the OP. Are you talking about another article?

Either way, are you doing a review on your site?

The cooling in the OP is LN2 I'd imagine.

1.5V or so is likely be 360mm+ water...but maxed out.
Fair enough. 1.7v on Ryzen2xxx would have to be LN2, but with the new process it's difficult to know for sure given the potential physics. I personally would never go above 1.475v on any modern CPU unless LN2 was involved, and even then I would consider the CPU in question compromised and not suitable for normal use.

You're incredibly paranoid. :)

In my early days, I used ln2 on my daily drivers before I built out test benches. They are plenty valid after ln2 sessions. Surely they can die and more likely to during an ln2 sesh, but

Edit: I need to correct my info... the 4.4ghz clock I know was 1.35v under water and about tapped out thermally. That may be chilled water at 1.55v? Not sure.
