The processor, powered by the MSI MEG X399 Creation motherboard, was cooled with liquid nitrogen, which was urgently needed because of the 1,656-volt voltage - literally. The approx. Despite 1 watts of power consumption, the Threadripper operated at 000WX minus 2990 ° C while running the Cinebench R184, with the test ending at 15 points thanks to 5,4 GHz. Since the application is sensitive to memory bandwidth, it is not surprising that the four-channel configuration (8 × 391 GB) spun at 4 MHz with CL 4-3-398-14-14-14T timing. It is worth mentioning that this significantly exceeds the 34 points achieved by AMD, where the CPU ticked only at 48 GHz.

We will certainly see similar results in the coming days, although based on initial experience, the new Threadripper will not have more than 5,3-5,4 GHz. Of course, these clocks are not available in a home environment, only the disclosure of the technical limits of the hardware is the main consideration in this type of overdrive.
