The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D has been tested using EK's premium liquid cooling kit where it was able to achieve 400 MHz over spec. Overclocker Pieter Plaisier (SkatterBencher) has provided extremely detailed data, and a video, on how the new processor can reach up to 5403 MHz, and possibly even higher. A parts list is also included where we can see that EK's premium liquid cooling kit, along with an ElmorLabs fan controller and booster adapter (for increased reading accuracy), was used tame the new processor. Beyond that, most parts are pretty straightforward, no LN2 but the system was powered by an Enermax MAXREVO 1500W power supply and used DDR5-6400 memory.

SkatterBencher notes that users should never increase the voltage beyond 1.15V as doing so is likely to damage the processor. As is, increasing the voltage is already a risky endeavor with these processors so extreme caution should be taken. The 7000X3D series is not designed for overclocking and, like the previous 5800X3D, has locked multipliers but there are still ways via PBO2, curve optimizer, memory overclocking, using asynchronous ECLK (something other users did with the 5800X3D). One thing the X3D series of CPUs has brought back is the technical aspect of overclocking and the many combinations of PBO2 and ECLK adjustments show this.
