Overclocking Threadripper? For the 1950X, should you push further?
Overclocking Threadripper? For the 1950X, should you push further?
Hello, I have been working on fine tuning my overclocks on my 1950x Threadripper on a Asus Zenith Extreme. I want to know if this a good overclock and should I continue to push my boundaries? This is my first attempt of trying to fine tune a overclock. CPU - 4.3 CORE VOLTAGE - 1.4 MEMORY - 2800MHZ
Stability needs verification throughout testing. Keep track of temperatures and timings. Tools like Intel Burn Test, Prime95 or OCCT can help. A quick run lasts about 20 minutes. Minimum stability should last at least 2 hours. The chip throttle cap is 90°C—lower values are preferable. Only full load readings count. How have you managed the overclock progress so far?
The voltage reading you mentioned isn't suitable for voltage measurement; focus on CPU Core Voltage (SVI2 TFN). For better memory performance, aim for higher speeds, but be cautious—if your memory module has a low rating, you may not be able to exceed this limit.
Starting a long Prime95 test. It's running under water cooling with an 80mm quad radiator and a 80mm triple. I believe the temperature won't be a problem, so I'll switch to my BIOS and fine-tune the settings.
