Hmm. 2000 is the maximum I've ever seen.

Like this one?

The fact that they run macOS on Ryzen is suspicious.

Well, there are definitely Ryzen-based hackintoshes in the wild.

Reported as iMacPro1,1

Also, top registered 3700X overclocking result is 5750MHz.

So 5700MHz result is theoretically possible, but what about "RTC Bug"?

This issue has been fixed with newer versions of Windows and Intel processors, but AMD’s Ryzen 3000 processors still suffer from the bug, so benchmark results for any AMD platform with an alterable base clock have been banned from HWBot
