Overclocker uses camping freezer to push RTX 5050 to nearly 3.5 GHz, smashes world records — smallest Blackwell GPU gets 23% clock boost

The result is, unsurprisingly, a pile of world record benchmark scores.

An incredibly ambitious hardware modder with a penchant for both sublime and ridiculous GPU tinkering has boosted an RTX 5050 to nearly 3.5GHz with a camping freezer. The result is clocks boosted to nearly 3.5GHz, a 23% uplift, and a handful of broken world records. This test was performed as part of what Trashbench calls “the dumbest competition on YouTube” in a video about his battle against fellow overclocking YouTuber Clock Bench to see who can push the GeForce RTX 5050 harder.

Determined to win, Trashbench shunt-modded his Gigabyte RTX 5050 card to unlock the card’s power limits and crank it as hard as possible. He ended up with a sustained clock rate of 3468 MHz, some 23% increased over the stock 2820 MHz. This pushed the little GB207 GPU to the top of the 3DMark benchmark charts, and indeed, it is probably the fastest GB207 on the planet—for what dubious merit that honor awards. #1 is #1, though, no matter the context.
