It has now been several months since the release of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, with AMD that in the meantime has now marketed its new generation Ryzen 7000 CPUs, but despite this, this product certainly does not stop talking about itself. In addition to still being used as a yardstick in game performance benchmarks, the processor still represents a challenge for overclockers due to its limitations.

We have already seen MSI’s TSAIK team push the 5800X3D to 5.1 GHz, however it appears that someone has managed to cross this thresholdat least according to what the insider shared TUM_APISAKwho posted a screenshot from CPU-Z showing the processor running at a frequency of 5.5 GHz, the highest so far achieved with this CPU. As you can see from the specifications, the clock multiplier setting has been set to 55xthe user therefore did not change the frequency from the BCLK setting (Base Clock). On top of that, the CPU ran at a voltage just under 1.3V (1.296 V)while the motherboard used was a ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII DARK HEROor the top of the X570 ASUS range.

Both the cooling system and the performance remain unknown, as the user has not shared any benchmarks in this regard. The BIOS used is version 4201 released in April this year, nothing new therefore, despite Wccftech having announced the existence of a brand new BIOS that would allow the Ryzen 7 5800X3D more overclocking headroom.

As we know the 5800X3D is not meant for overclocking, but given what we have just told you, the limitations don’t seem so real. Staying in the realm of 3D V-Cache processors, AMD said future Ryzen 7000 models with 3D V-Cache will be easier to overclock, as well as have higher operating frequencies.
