also came across some photos of a Ryzen sample tested on a Biostar X370 Racing GT7 motherboard. The interesting thing here is that the photos show LN2 cooling and seem to suggest that Ryzen does not suffer from so-called cold bug as the system is booting up with a CPU temperature of -29°C.
In case you don’t know what this bug is. Cold bug is when CPU is unable to warm up fast enough to boot properly, which basically makes the whole platform unresponsive or operate at low performance. The cold bug occurs only at extremely low temperatures. It is also believed that this issue is more common on AMD CPUs. That’s why it was so important to get the first proof that Ryzen boots successfully at such a low temperature. Hopefully, this will result in more people trying to achieve higher frequencies with liquid nitrogen and breaking new records.
