In today's video, I overclock the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Raphael CPU up to 5900 MHz with the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme motherboard and EK custom loop water cooling.

Before we get going, I'd like to thank the folks at AMD for enabling overclocking support on X3D CPUs. While this may age like milk if they decide to lock OC after launch, it's nice to see a change in approach from the first X3D CPU, which was entirely locked for overclocking.

That's not to say overclocking is fully unlocked or as straightforward as with regular Ryzen 7000 CPUs (it certainly isn't), but the intent is there, and I appreciate that!

All right, we have lots to cover, so let's jump straight in.
