LN2 overclocker Skatterbencher has taken AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X to new heights, beating a 7.1GHz Core i9-14900KF in OCCT with nearly a 1 GHz deficit clock speed. The overclocker broke the OCCT AVX benchmark world record with a score of 269.35 points on AMD's latest Zen 5 8-core chip.
The world record-breaking result was achieved at just 6.318 GHz on the Ryzen 7 9700X. To get the Zen 5 chip to that speed, SkatterBencher used a host of techniques, rather than inputing a manual multiplier and voltage. Skatterbencher used a combination of BCLK overclocking, Precision Boost Overdrive, AMD's Curve Optimizer (with a positive offset), and Curve Shaper to enable Ryzen's Precision Boost algorithm to run at well over 6GHz on liquid nitrogen.
