BMW M4 Radiator Setup Reaches 4.9 GHz on AMD’s 96-Core Threadripper Pro

It demonstrates that even a massive automotive cooling system cannot match liquid nitrogen’s ability to sustain extreme all-core clocks.

Overview

  • Geekerwan repurposed a 600 × 350 mm BMW M4 radiator and its 1,200 L/h pump alongside two 30 cm Toyota Highlander fans to cool AMD’s Threadripper Pro 9995WX.
  • The automotive AIO mod sustained a 4.9 GHz all-core overclock, yielding 187,153 points in Cinebench R23.
  • The setup failed to surpass the 5.0 GHz threshold and drove instantaneous CPU power draw above 2,000 W.
  • Liquid nitrogen cooling still outperforms the car-based system by reaching 5.8 GHz on all cores without the same power overhead.
  • The experiment highlights the balance enthusiasts must strike between practical DIY cooling and extreme methods for high-power CPUs.
