AMD's mighty 96-core Threadripper Pro has been overclocked with a car radiator and some big ol' beefy fans, and I am remarkably satisfied

Have you ever looked at a liquid cooling radiator and thought "I wonder if a car rad would work any better?" Me neither. However, you and I don't have the same brains as the folks behind YouTube channel Geekerwan, as they've rigged together a radiator and water pump from a BMW M4, some Toyota Highlander fans, and a water block to cool one of AMD's most powerful chips. And it works!

The CPU in question is the truly over-specced AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995W, a 96-core chip that's capable of pulling over 1000 W of precious electric go-go juice from the wall socket in its own right. It's technically got a max boost clock of 5.4 GHz, but as you might expect, that figure won't apply to all of those cores at once.
