LIVE: -150° 6.2GHz+ AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Overclocking with Liquid Nitrogen In an exciting live stream hosted by Gamers Nexus, the focus was set on overclocking the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU using extravagant methods involving liquid nitrogen. This event delivered some fascinating insights into extreme overclocking techniques, engaging content, and community interaction throughout the session.

Overview of the Live Stream​

The stream began with an introduction to the AMD 7950X, noting that the aim was to reach clock speeds of up to 6.3GHz using liquid nitrogen as the cooling solution. With the hardware prepared, including a robust Kingpin Cooling Allen Tub pot, preparations were made to tackle the thermal challenges associated with extreme overclocking. Key Highlights:
  • The components used included a 30-liter liquid nitrogen tank, which ensured that ample LN2 was available throughout the session. This was crucial as the 7950X is known for generating significant heat during operation.
  • The hosts discussed the effect of temperature on clock speed, noting that lower temperatures typically allow for higher clock speeds, and conducted several test runs to find the optimal settings for stability.

Technical Insights​

  1. Initial Setup:
    • The stream showcased the insulation techniques necessary for handling liquid nitrogen, emphasizing the use of Vaseline and nail polish to prevent condensation that can lead to short circuits during operation.
  2. Benchmark Results:
    • Throughout the session, the performers aimed for a baseline score, eventually achieving about 45,000 points in Cinebench, with the target clock speed being 6.2GHz. Unfortunately, they narrowly missed the 6.3GHz goal due to some challenges in cooling stability and mounting issues with the LN2 pot.
  3. Community Engagement:
    • The chat was alive with questions, tips, and discussions about best practices for overclocking. The hosts engaged with the audience by addressing various queries, from the expected cooling needed for the 7950X to technical nuances about choosing other AMD components.
    • Spectators were invited to share their own overclocking experiences, bolstering community interaction.

      Final Thoughts​

      The conclusion of the stream reflected on achieving substantial performance even though they reached a maximum clock speed slightly shy of their goal. Given the complexity of working with liquid nitrogen and the proactive audience participation, this event was a testament to both technical prowess and community spirit.
