AMD’s new Threadripper Pro 9995WX is the world’s fastest workstation processor. However, it doesn’t come with a built-in cooler. Geekerwan, a Chinese tech tuber, has found an unusual solution to cool this powerful CPU.
Geekerwan removed the radiator and pump from his BMW M4 and attached them to his Shimada Peak processor. The M4’s cooling system can push 1,200 liters per hour, but it couldn’t match liquid nitrogen’s cooling performance.
Despite its impressive specs, the Threadripper Pro 9995WX struggled to reach its full potential due to the limitations of Geekerwan’s car-based cooling setup. The CPU failed to break 5.0 GHz and remained “still cold” during testing.
Geekerwan tested his unconventional cooling system, which included Toyota Highlander fans, a 30cm fan that required 100W to operate, and a massive reservoir for coolant. However, even this setup couldn’t keep up with the extreme heat generated by the CPU.
For now, consumer CPUs like the Ryzen 9 9950X remain superior to the Threadripper Pro 9995WX in gaming applications. But if you’re looking to push the limits of your system, liquid nitrogen cooling might be the only way to achieve true performance.
Note: Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic fluid that can cool systems to extremely low temperatures, making it ideal for extreme overclocking and performance testing.
