Overclocking at Assembly Summer 2023 - Ryzen 7950X at 6.7GHz+ & DDR5-9000 CL32

During my recent trip to Taiwan for Computex 2023 and G.Skill World Cup Overclocking competition I met a few of the top figures from out Finnish enthusiast oriented PC Store, Jimm's PC Store. We discussed about a possible overclocking demonstration at this year's Assembly Summer event in Helsinki.
As the ASUS Matrix RTX 4090 was still unavailable, we decided to do just CPU and Memory overclocking. Thanks to Jokot, we could two different systems at the same time, so we ran both the latest AMD and Intel based platforms. On AMD's side we had the top CPU SKUs, so the Ryzen 9 7950X and 7900X, and also a pretested 7600 by Jokot. Of course, the most popular AMD CPUs have been the 3D models, but the latest ones are locked, so there was no point to run those on LN2. The 7950X was by far the best CPU as it could run around full pot temperatures and the frequency went up to 6.7GHz. The 7900X and 7600 both locked very early on at -80 to -90 so no chance to break the top scores with those.
The Intel CPUs we were provided weren't particularly good, both the QS 13900KS and the retail 13900K could only run like 7.1-7.3GHz. Thankfully I had my best pretested 13900KS with me and I demoed it at 7.5GHz in multicore load for the audience. I mostly focused on the Corsair Vengeance memory as that was definitely something new for the audience, and we managed to run DDR5-9000 CL32 stable in Geekbench 3. Funny note was that the sticks didn't have any cold bug or similar, so I ran the sticks as low as -180.
I managed to improve my 7950X results at home, but sadly the socket on the motherboard got damaged. Certainly due to cooler mounting pressure and maybe cold temperatures, one of the socket pins got bent down and cut from the base. So now the system doesn't boot successfully anymore, so I have to find a new motherboard.

must have been fun hanging out with friends

[@censxoc]

Great coverage

[@el_manosanta]

The best!

[@ObviousCough]

Fantastic

[@netbat4399]

can I get more stable ram o.c by o.c ring bus?

[@Multimeter1]

Send the motherboard to north bridge fix... A socket replacement should not cost much or the manufacture can fix it for you for 200$

Tän olisin halunnut nähdä. Harmi että nää assyt jäi välistä

[@LuumiJuhani]

Eiköhän tapahdu toistekin, ainakin yleinen fiilis ja palaute oli tosi hyvä.

21:00 so annoying that you have to be so careful about EVERYTHING nowadays ohhh not enough pressure then bad cooling and bad contact and potential memory problems or whatver, oh too much pressure and the same problems but risk of BREAKING the pins... sigh signal integrity / reboot to reboot instability for ddr5 problems.. new pc so powerful but so fragile

Amd is total garbage on the long run. Great video Lumi
