Okay positive, you’re going to have to start out sloshing round liquid nitrogen to have the ability to get the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X chips to prime 5.8GHz, however that’s nonetheless a reasonably good begin for AMD’s second technology Ryzen processors.
LN2 could be past your attain, however these are the best liquid coolers round as we speak.
The new AMD Ryzen 2 processors are set to launch on Thursday April 19 (only a few days away, folks), however don’t anticipate to be hitting close to 6GHz on your property rig except you could have entry to copious quantities of LN2.
The two overclocks had been reported on Videocardz with the scores showing on the CPU-Z Validator website. The Ryzen 7 2700X is operating with a BCLK of 101.02MHz and a multiplier of x58.25. That offers the eight-core chip a clockspeed of slightly below 5.9GHz, although it’s not clear if that’s simply with a single core operating at that pace or all eight. I’m guessing that simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) will in all probability have additionally been disabled to get a frequency that top.
The Ryzen 5 2600X isn’t far behind, with a BCLK of 101MHz and the identical x58.25 multiplier providing an general frequency lower than 2MHz slower than its greater sibling.
These aren’t the very best frequencies Ryzen processors have ever posted – the Ryzen 5 1600X has topped 5.9GHz up to now – however contemplating we’re nonetheless within the pre-release window that is not a nasty begin for the brand new chips.
Sadly I don’t have the chemical expertise to get on the liquid nitrogen enjoyable bus relating to testing our personal Ryzen 2 processors, however we’ll have all of the gaming-relevant scores and efficiency numbers when our personal evaluations go dwell on Thursday.
