Now one day later, the chip has already achieved some impressive feats including several world records and global ranks at HwBot. Starting with the achievements, we first have the fastest OC frequency for the chip reported at 5.752 GHz across all 32 cores and 64 threads. This impressive feat was achieved by legendary overclocker TSAIK of Taiwan who pushed the chip to the said OC frequency using LN2 cooling on an MSI TRX40 Creator motherboard using a voltage supply of 1.1V.
