Update November 8, 2024: Records are made to be broken—as noted right-wing libertarian, Norris McWhirter, was wont to say—and dedication is what you need, if you want to be a record breaker, as Roy Castle would sing before blowing his own trumpet. And so, the 6.9 GHz overclock that we saw yesterday from the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has now been surpassed by Taiwanese overclocker TSAIK using an MSI MEG X870E Godlike motherboard with a number 1 position on the HWBOT leaderboard for the chip's CPU frequency (via Videocardz).
It's been hit with a frequency of 7.24 GHz, achieved by disabling SMT (something we've found helpful in terms of getting higher frequencies on the Ryzen 7 9800X3D), and using a core voltage of a massive 1.969 V.
