Extreme overclocking is our specialty, and with so many exciting new releases, like the Ryzen 9000 series, why not freeze one of these CPUs to see how it performs? In this article, we’ll explore how the Ryzen 7 9700X paired with the ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 handled extreme overclocking using liquid nitrogen! 🙂
In this review, I will analyze a Kingbank Sharp Blade RGB memory kit, which offers models ranging from 6000 to 6400 MT/s, in 16 or 32 GB modules, available for separate purchase or in 32 GB/64 GB kits. The product under evaluation is a 32 GB kit consisting of two 16 GB modules, operating at 6400 MT/s, with timings of 32-39-39-80 and an operating voltage of 1.4V.
Can’t wait for AMD to release an APU for the AM5 socket? Well, even though we don’t have a Ryzen 7000 APU for desktops yet, they’re already working on its successor, yes, we’re talking about the Ryzen 8000, codenamed “Strix Point”.
Some time ago, we posted an article on extreme overclocking with the Ryzen 9 7900, which is the 12-core CPU that, at least on paper, tends to be quite efficient with its TDP of only 65W. In that occasion, we managed to go beyond 6 GHz using dry ice, and while the results were very satisfying, we are still yet to see what the R9 7900 is capable of under more normal conditions, something we will explore in this article!
The Ryzen 7000 series is not exactly a novelty on our page, as we have several articles about them, such as this kind of guide using the Ryzen 7 7700X, where we explore how far these processors can go with ambient temperature overclocking. On our YouTube channel, we have also conducted several live streams exploring other aspects, such as Raphael’s integrated video performance.
In this review, I will analyze the GIGABYTE B650M Aorus Elite AX, which is a B650 motherboard designed for the new AM5 platform. Although it is an entry-level model, don’t be fooled – this motherboard still supports features such as M.2 PCI-E 5.0, has an eight-layer PCB, and a robust VRM.
