It looks like serious overclockers were really waiting for AMD's high-end Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" CPUs to showcase their overclocking and tuning expertise as new world records have been set using the Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core and Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core chips.

MSI today announced that overclockers have pushed both AMD Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" CPUs to their limits on the MEG X670E ACE motherboard, a phenomenal AM5 product that has broken many records since its launch. So far, we had only seen the Ryzen 9000 chips being pushed up to 7 GHz and that was on an entry-level Ryzen 5 9600X chip with just 6-cores. The maximum that we have seen the Ryzen 9 9950X being pushed to was 6.6 GHz during AMD's own Tech Day but that was just the beginning.
