he company says the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 was used with its X870E Taichi OCF motherboard to claim several Global 1st Place and top global rankings on HWBOT. The results were submitted by overclockers AKM and l0ud_sil3nc3.
The board used here is the X870E Taichi OCF, ASRock’s AMD overclocking motherboard for AM5. It has a 22+2+1 phase 110A SPS power design, two DDR5 DIMM slots, two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, dual USB4 Type-C, Realtek 5GbE LAN, WiFi 7, and an overclocking toolkit.

9950X3D2, an OC CPU?
This is ASRock’s flagship OC board and unlikely candidate for whoever buys the 9950X3D2 CPU. ASRock and AMD advertised the CPU as a content-creator-first and developer focused SKU, not even a gaming variant, and that for sure was confirmed in reviews .
In any case, if you have exotic cooling solution around and unlimited power and money, you might just reach the same results:
