Xeon w9-3495X in Extreme OC Consumes 1900W at 5.5GHz

Elmor and ASUS Overclock the Xeon w9-3495X: Setting a New Record in Cinebench R23. The Xeon w9-3495X, equipped with 56 cores however require extreme cooling methods due to the hardware being operated well beyond its efficient operating window.

Elmor, one of ASUS's trusted overclockers, recently released a video showcasing an overclocked version of the Xeon w9-3495X. The aim was to set a new record in Cinebench R23. Elmor and the team utilized an ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE, eight modules of G.Skill Zeta R5 DDR5 R-DIMM, and two Superflower Leadex power supplies, each rated at 1,600 W. The amount of power consumed by the processor, at nearly 1,900 W, necessitated the use of two high-powered 1,600 W power supplies. The processor was run at a clock speed of 5.5 GHz and maintained a temperature of around -95°C. The overclocking attempt yielded a score of 132,220 points, which is slightly lower than the current first-place record of 132,484 points. Nonetheless, the impressive performance demonstrates the potential of the Xeon w9-3495X when pushed to its limits with adequate cooling measures.
