How to OC a ThreadRipper CPU?
Look for guides or forums that discuss OC techniques for the ThreadRipper 3970x on Asus MOBO models.
Increase the clock speed until stability breaks, then slightly raise the voltage. Voltages up to 1.3625V work well for long-term use. A bit higher like 1.38V or even 1.4V is possible if cooling is excellent. But over time the chip will wear out, eventually frequencies can't be maintained and you'll need to reduce by about 20-50 MHz.
it really relies on the chip design. however, from what I understand, it looks like you shouldn't exceed 1,325v at this stage based on recent reports. you might get better performance by boosting the memory overclocking. some improvements can come from overclocking the CPU in tasks with many threads or when adjusting per-core settings.
