Asus is celebrating the release of AMD’s Threadripper 9000 CPU lineup by setting multiple world records using its Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE motherboard. These achievements were obtained by well-known overclockers, including CENS, Seby, and OGS, who broke eight world records and claimed 31 global first places plus seven hardware first places using various configurations. This goes to show how much performance is left in the new Threadripper tank for those with time and patience to extract it.
Starting with Cinebench, we have CENS who racked three records using the Threadripper Pro 9995WX on R15, R20, and R23, with 30,488 points, 86,136 points, and 227,817 points, respectively. For comparison, last-gen flagship, the Threadripper Pro 7995WX, delivered 210,702 points at 6.2GHz. In other words, the new top dog is 8% faster while being clocked 300MHz lower. This means that future attempts may widen this gap.
This difference becomes more impressive when comparing it to liquid-cooled overclocking attempts, the latest of which achieved just 186,800 points in Cinebench R23, making today’s record 21% higher. We expect an even wider separation from the stock CPU configuration, which has a limited power and cooling envelope.
But that’s not all, overclocker Seby also broke four world records, in Cinebench 2024, Geekbench 3, HWBOT x265 Benchmark 1080p, and HWBOT x265 Benchmark 4k, accompanied by OGS with another smashing performance in 7-Zip.
All these achievements have in common the 96-core AMD Threadripper 9995WX CPU and the Asus Pro WS WRX90E Sage SE motherboard. The latter was as important as the Liquid Nitrogen used to cool these chips, offering 32+3+3+3 power stages to feed the beast.

The rest of the Threadripper 9000 lineup also had its moment of glory, though not to the level of the flagship, which is understandable due to their lower core counts. Nevertheless, the Threadripper Pro 9985WX, 9975WX, and 9975WX claimed multiple first places in different categories. In total, Asus and AMD claimed 46 leading positions thanks to the help of these talented overclockers. So, congratulations to all parties.
Now, as for what the future holds, we bet on many more new records as overclockers get acquainted with the intricacies of the new chips.
