As per tradition, the launch of new ROG motherboards meant its in-house overclockers get to take on overclocking records. The newly-announced ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard has clinched five first-places, and the overclocking record courtesy of AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X.
New ROG Motherboards, New World Records
ASUS posted its overclocking accolades on X (Twitter), listing six of the new records – overclocker ‘elmor’ took the Ryzen 9 9950X up to 7.55GHz; while ‘safedisk’ completed the other five benchmark records on the same chip (clocked lower for just enough stability to complete the run) under the 16-core CPU category.
Below is the video of the overclocking setup, and here are the submissions which details the setup and various metrics during the record run: Geekbench 3 Multi-Core, 7-Zip, Cinebench R20, Cinebench R23, HWBOT x265 Benchmark 4K
Extreme overclocking is a very small niche in the grand scheme of things, but in the motherboard market where it’s difficult to stand out with unique feature, world record runs like these usually helps building the hype surrounding new models.
Expect another overclocking spree to come pretty soon as rumors suggest that Intel may soon introduces its new Z890 lineup along with the Core Ultra (Arrow Lake) processors. Intel’s current generation of chips is bowing out with an all-time clock speed record of 9.1GHz, and it looks like that record is going to stay for a long time as the new lineup allegedly will not feature faster clock speeds.
