5 Minute Overclock: Ryzen 9 7950X3D to 5900 MHz

In this video, we're overclocking the Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU up to 5900 MHz in 5 minutes or less using the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme motherboard and EK-Quantum custom loop water cooling.

I'll speed-run you through the BIOS settings and provide some notes and tips along the way. Please note that this is for entertainment purposes only and not the whole picture. Please don't outright copy these settings and apply them to your system. If you want to learn how to overclock this system, please check out the longer SkatterBencher video.

I followed this guide to a tee this afternoon with my own Ryzen 9 7950X3D and DDR5 7200MT/s RAM using my AIO.
Literal exact same results as you. Maximum CPU temperature of 82.5C, average core clock of 4, 732Mhz, with the non-X3D core spiking to 5.775Ghz and the X3D core hitting 5.350Ghz and I have barely done any core optimizing. I just did -30mv for X3D core and -20mv for non-X3D core as the Per CCD core optimizer.
Also all of my fans are set to 50% max speed, lol. Good results. Thanks for you help.

bro in retrospect u probably saved us from our motherboards exploding with the curve optimizer lol

Would like to see an overclock of the 7950X3D with the MSI MEG X670E ACE motherboard

[WoodyTheArmadillo]

EXPO2 should be used instead of EXPO1 - EXPO1 only loads profile base timings while EXPO2 loads complete profile timings. If EXPO2 works it's better than EXPO1

Thanks for the video on this. I hope to get this CPU in the coming weeks. I also watched your "AMD Precision Boost Overdrive 2 & Curve Optimizer Explored" on how to find the values for the individual cores. So I will start with the values in this video first and go from there.

You're great! Are you able to make a video discussing the fastest way to figure out the correct CO magnitudes when doing the ECLK tuning (So the 3d vcache ccd can boost higher)? Is there a button on the motherboard that quickly takes you back to bios when it fails to boot?

[iLegionaire]

Do you still prefer the Intel 13900KS over the 7950X3D for over clocking?

It’s a tough choice because the 13900KS has the superior clock speeds but the 7950X3D delivers similar performance with unmatched efficiency. Sugilover proved the Intel efficiency cores can hit 5 GHZ! Yet with Intel you have to buy a new motherboard for 14th and 15th generation whereas AMD is supporting AM5 for much longer.

Edit: I went with the Ryzen 7950X in the end and the AMD 7900 XTX! Then upgraded to the Intel 14900K.

Thanks for the amazing video as always ♥️

Is the Extreme or the Gene for future OC the better choice? 😊

[TheAcmeGamer]

With a Asus PRIME X670-P Wifi Board i've managed to get all core turbo of 5200mhz on CCD0 and CCD1 on my 7950x3D thanks to some videos i've seen.

[dullahangaming]

Do you have a guide for finding the appropriate optimization curve for each core?

[Mnorbert]

The negative curve optimizer from -30 to -40 for 1 unit that means -40*5mv almost -200 mv deviation that's a lot !

[tjalve]

Could you show an overlock using a high end MSI board as well? In case you have one laying around 😬

how to overclock using this motherboard MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI

[thegameoftimeskiller]

m'y 7900x3d oc bclk 102.9xx + pbo +125 MHZ pbo frequency boost (5.3 GHZ core vcache curve negative -12 and core standars 5.944 GHZ curve -20-9-20-9-20-20) CB23 28500 and single core 210x

[뚜띠뚜띠-tk]

Thank you for the good video.
7800x3d gigabytes, please.

[DerekJones]

I have x670 strix e board and 7950x3d, so I thought I'd give this a shot. When I set the curve the way you did, windows can't boot. Sucks.

[fieldcraftmusic]

1 year later, i still have no idea how to use this CPU properly. Any advice on how to get it right with the Gigabyte B650i mini ?

[martinnz]

Hi. Could you please also make a video on the 7950x on this motherboard? well thank you

[Dyils]

What were the temperatures before and after? Were the temps lower despite the higher clock thanks to the negative CO?

[bad_emil]

the pci express 3.0 that is half the speed of 4.0 doen't affect games performance? Can be seen on outro part on cpu-z informations
