Along with its massive core count and extended memory support, AMD's Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX has a rarely-used feature that makes it stand out in the workstation processor market: overclockability. Not many people buy a $10,000 CPU to overclock it, so AMD decided show how capable it is itself. Last week the company's lead overclocker Sampson managed to overclock the CPU to 4800 MHz and 5200 MHz using air and liquid cooling. But this week the CPU was able to hit 6.0 GHz with all 96 cores.
Experiments in overclocking AMD's Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX processor using custom air and liquid cooling were conducted by Bill 'Sampson' Alverson. Extreme overclocking experiments using liquid nitrogen (LN2) were done by two teams — one composed of Bill 'Sampson' Alverson and Amit Mehra from AMD, and the other featuring renowned overclockers Roman 'der8auer' Hartung and Jon 'Elmor' Sandström.
