In our AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X review we found out that AMD's new budget-oriented CPUs are admirably good overclockers. Our Ryzen 3 3300X hit 4.5 GHz on all cores without too much fuss, and the Ryzen 3100 didn't lag too far behind. However, pro overclockers take things to a new level, and TSAIK did just that, whipping out his LN2 supplies to overclock his Ryzen 3100.

TSAIK managed an impressive overclock of 5923.62 MHz using a base clock of 99.98 MHz and the multiplier set at 59.25. To keep the chip running stable, the chip was fed 1.45V though an MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi motherboard . Those are impressive figures over the chip's stock 3.8 and 3.9 GHz respective base and boost clocks.

TSAIK also backed off on the RAM , using just a single 8GB stick of DDR4 memory running at 1,600 MHz.

Don't think that you'll be able to hit this clock at home just like that. At such a voltage, cooling becomes a major concern, and you'll need liquid nitrogen to pull off the job.

But we don't expect this record to last forever. After all, we hit 4.5 GHz on our Ryzen 3 3100 using only water cooling. With LN2, the overclocking possibilities multiply. Plus, having 4 cores on a single core chiplet die (CCD) creates much more manageable heat generation compared to the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X , which TSAIK managed to pull over the 6 GHz line.
