AMD has officially released its latest flagship CPU, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and it’s already pushing the boundaries of overclocking. Taiwanese overclocker TSAIK has set a new record by achieving an incredible 7.24 GHz frequency using an MSI MEG X870E Godlike motherboard with liquid nitrogen cooling.
This feat is made possible by the unique 3D V-Cache technology found in the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which allows for improved heat transfer and unlocks overclocking capabilities. The chip’s stock base clock is 4.7 GHz, with a boost of 5.2 GHz, resulting in an impressive 1.7 GHz increase over the boost clock.
TSAIK’s achievement comes after disabling SMT and using a core voltage of 1.969 V to achieve the record-breaking frequency. However, it’s worth noting that this overclock was only possible with liquid nitrogen cooling and wasn’t stable enough for benchmarking applications like Cinebench.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is already proving itself to be a powerhouse in gaming performance, with Tony Yu from Asus China achieving impressive frame rates of over 1,000 FPS in CS2 and Valorant at max settings. This confirms what PC Gamer’s Dave previously stated – the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is indeed the new king of gaming CPUs.
With its unlocked 3D V-Cache technology, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has opened up new possibilities for overclocking and cooling. While other chips in the same series have struggled with heat transfer, this CPU’s design allows it to reach higher clock speeds without compromising stability.
The impact of this achievement can be seen in the gaming world, where the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is now set to surpass Intel Arrow Lake for performance, power consumption, and cooling capabilities.
