AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X Overclocking @ [H]

SO your saying for a 2990wx you put in 500 for PPT limit 500 for TDC limit and 500 for temp limit--that doesnt make too much sense as a listing that would produce the best result for a 2990wx and why a temp l;limit of 500?

With anything higher than 500 across all values, the system would shut down under Gooseberry.

Old stationary engines used to dump 10 or 12kw of heat in most climates with a barrel of water. Surface convection and vapour will do it.

Someone forgot to tell the wood burning stove I grew up with that iron is a terrible heat exchanger. Not to also mention the iron cookware I grew up on. :oldman:

Kyle, where is the data/tests to show this for current AMD systems?

Hitman (most responsive game to ram speed I've found) using DX 12 and looking at minimum frame rate as in percentages, tighter timings as well as ram speed work together. Using Stilts 3300 safe and OC FSB to get 3500mhz in the past gave the best results but in the end, at least for me it was not significant enough. For productivity programs it was virtually nothing. Dug up some old data, configuration was 1700x, Asus Crosshair Hero 6, 3.9ghz, TridenZ memory (Samsung B modules) 2 x 8gb, Gigabyte 1070 G1. These are Stilts settings which were later incorporated into the Bios on ASUS boards, very tight timing settings. Looking at the lower percentiles and averages. For this setup the biggest change was going with tighter timings at 3200 from 3200 DOCP to 3200 Stilts Safe timings while faster speed memory and tight timings helped. Unfortunately data is incomplete now as in resolution tested at. Anyways, request this be looked at in a professional serious way so folks do not spend way more money they need to spend for very limited improvements for very isolated particular cases. This was best case I've found back in 2017 with memory speeds besides 3500 not shown below, the data below it was cut out, consisting of over 10,000 frames for each test run.

Based on that chart, 3400 CL16 would land bellow 3200 Safe.
OF course real-world and application specific programs will very in results.

It's for that reason that those items work so well for their purposes.

Hey guys! Today i began to overclock my 2950X and what i found was a little unbelievable. I got 4.0ghz all core stable at 1.25V and got as far as 4.3ghz at only 1.425V
My Cinebench Score is 3545 Points Multi Core score.

I've never heard of any 2950x going that high and never read of a 4.0ghz all core oc that only needed 1.25V

Did I find the holy grail of threadrippers?

Thanks for you help!
