Overclocker "Alex2305" Scores 14,290 Marks in PCMark 10 Express Using Ryzen 9 9950X3D on ASRock X870E Taichi OCF

Another overclocker has made a new world record by using ASRock's popular flagship AM5 motherboard. The user "Alex2305" just broke all previous records for the highest scores in PCMark 10 Express, a popular benchmarking tool for CPUs. Alex2305 used AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU on the ASRock X870E Taichi OCF, which we have declared as one of the best AM5 motherboards for overclocking.

The motherboard has helped numerous users set new records with their hardware, and once again, it helped Alex2035 score a whopping 14,290 Marks in the PCMark 10 Express benchmark. The previous world record holder was "Doomed83", who scored 14,280 Marks in the test using the Intel Core i9 14900K. PCMark 10 Express records have been dominated by mostly Intel CPUs, and if you take a look at the leaderboards, you will find Intel 14th-gen processors at the top.

Nonetheless, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D is now at the top spot, thanks to the efforts of Alex2035, who deployed nitrogen cooling to achieve this score at 6.37 GHz. ASRock boasted about this in an X post, claiming its X870E Taichi OCF delivers "exceptional stability and tuning flexibility". The new score may not be that far from the previous world record, but for the 9950X3D, it's a big win since Intel Core i9 and even i5 CPUs have dominated the leaderboards.

AMD Ryzen 9950X3D appears at the 9th spot, apart from the first position currently. The new score might be only 10 marks away from the previous record, but it will be really difficult to break. The last world record was made nearly five months ago, and unlike the CPU frequency records, PCMark 10 Express doesn't see that many records being broken frequently.
