content: No one is going to know for a while. They hit 5.8ghz on LN2. The previous record was 5.2ghz. To reach 5.2ghz, they only used the multiplier to overclock. To reach 5.8ghz, they used the base clock and the multiplier. There is a lot of things people will have to learn about this platform and CPU before we get any sort of proper overclocking results.  For now, you can basically raise voltage to maximum safe 24/7 voltage (1.4v) and raise the multiplier. People will figure out more as time goes on, when Piledriver FX CPUs launch, people found all sorts of weird quirks that let them get better overclocks. You can expect about 4ghz right now if you just raise the voltage and the multiplier, but I am pretty confident people will find out better ways to overclock. One important thing is to make sure the motherboard supports base clock overclocking if you're going to get a Ryzen. Base clock and multiplier overclocks almost always gives better overclocks than just with the multiplier, and oddly enough base clock overclocking is better because it overclocks a lot more of the chip. You just need to make sure you get a motherboard that supports base clock overclocking, they decouple the PCIe clock generator from the base clock. If you overclock your PCIe, you'll corrupt data and cause a ton of problems. Not all AM4 motherboards do it, I know the ASRocks with Hyper bclck II do (it's what I'm getting if backorders ever get filled).
