It seems AMD's new $99 Ryzen 3 3100 is a pretty fun processor to overclock. WCCF Tech noticed overclocker TSAIK managed to overclock this chip to 5923.62MHz using LN2 cooling on MSI's X570 Tomahawk motherboard.

TSAIK performed the overclock on an MSI X570 Tomahawk motherboard. The MSI Tomahawk AM4 series are fan favorites, offering a good mix of features at a reasonable price point. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 was supplied with 1.45 Volts which is not a standard operating voltage and requires lots of cooling such as LN2 to keep the processor under control.
