ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG), a well-known gaming components and peripherals company, has broken new records with the help of expert overclockers and the new ROG Zenith II motherboard, demonstrating how the AMD® Ryzen ™ Threadripper ™ 3970X processor is the new undisputed leader in 32-core performance.
By harnessing the power of the prodigious Zenith II Extreme, the most extreme overclockers were able to break a variety of benchmark records at CPU frequencies above 5500MHz across all cores.
Jeong Soonho, known on HWBot as "safedisk", equipped his Zenith II Extreme with a 1300W Antec PSU and a liquid nitrogen cooler from Kingpin Cooling, beating three of the most coveted records: Geekbench® 3, Cinebench® R15 and GPUPI for CPU 1B. Mike Nees (better known as “keeph8n”) broke no fewer than six different records, including major benchmarks for Geekbench 4 Multi Core, 3DMark® 11 Physics, and both GPUPI 3.3 1B and GPUPI 3.3 100M categories. Alexandru Nedelcu from Romania (“Alex @ ro”) conquered the HWBot x264 1080p rendering category after winning this year's G.Skill® OC World Cup 2019.
