looks really good, what are your load temps looking like?

Na, that won't hurt that CPU, however you might want to set a Restore Point for your OS. AMD lockups, can bork your OS. It is not a common thing, but it can still happen. Intel lockups can too, but those seem less common to me than AMD's.I dont think freezing up is gonna hurt it. try it and see but in small bumps.
What is CPUz reporting your vCore at under load? And is there a vCore listing in HWInfo? See if those match up. And congrats for getting it back to where you want it.I think I found stability. The only thing new I changed was CPU LLC from 2 to 1. Ran 3 instances of Handbrake simultaneously with very high quality encoding settings, taxing the processor to 100% for 3 1/2 hours. My system did not freeze up and the max. CPU frequency hit 4.5Ghz. Does this mean that I can consider it stable? As I mentioned before, normally when I encode video, I only use a single instance of Handbrake which results in all threads fluctuating percentages but all threads do not sit at 100%. I would assume there would not be any encode errors with only one Handbrake running?
Not sure what I should be looking for with voltages. In HWMonitor, the CPU VID for all 16 cores were constantly fluctuating with min. values. I'm not sure what VID is. What are your thoughts based on the screenshot picture below?
Summarizing my OC settings:
Overclock Mode: Manual
APU/PCIE Frequency: 100
CPU Frequency and Voltage Change: Manual
CPU Frequency: 4000
CPU Voltage 1.262 (1.25625 Actual)
XMP Profile: XMP 2.0 Profile 1
CPU Load-Line Calibration: Level 1 (Level 2 Was Default)
VDDCR_SOC Voltage: Fixed Mode (Fixed Voltage=1.1)
DRAM Voltage: 1.45
DRAM_CD Voltage: 1.45
VDDCR_SOV_S5: Changed from Auto To 1.1

With ambient temp. of 62F in the room, the max. CPU temp. hit 68C. With the ambient temp in the room more realistic and more comfortable (70F), the CPU temp will max 71-72C. CPU throttling happens with temps. above 68C which is counter intuitive because stock settings will encode video faster than a throttled overclocked CPU.looks really good, what are your load temps looking like?
That is all good and a badass overclock on a 1950X at that vCore. You done good!I've got my system running under load now at 100% across all threads. In HWMonitor, where should I be looking for vCore value? At the top of HWMonitor, CPU VCORE is the same for current and max=1.264 V. These values haven't changed in 20 minutes of being under load so far. CPU-Z Core Voltage is also reading 1.264. Is it normal for these values not to change or am I not paying attention to the right numbers? See below.

Show us some pics of the build?Thank you again Kyle!! And thank you pendragon1, hititnquitit, and sirmonkey1985! You guys are awesome and it is because of you and sites like this that make it possible for guys like me to build my own custom PC and dial it in the right way.
no prob and yeah post some pics.Thank you again Kyle!! And thank you pendragon1, hititnquitit, and sirmonkey1985! You guys are awesome and it is because of you and sites like this that make it possible for guys like me to build my own custom PC and dial it in the right way.
Right now for almost two hours, CPU all cores 100%, have a stable OC at 4.025Mhz and good temps.
Testing Stability is misleading in my opinion. I have a 4.025ghz at 1.28750 Volts. I don't believe in torture testing a processor with Prime because it puts a tremendous strain on the processor so my torture test was to run 4 instances of Handbrake simultaneously encoding videos for several hours. This was stable and temps reached 67C as a max. Everything completed successfully with no issues. When I encode video, I only run one instance of Handbrake and if I have multiple videos to encode, I put them in the cue. After encoding videos for a few hours, I found my PC locked up which means it isn't completely stable with this voltage. I increased the voltage to 1.3V and that seems to be stable however temps were reaching 71C. I am going to back it down to 4ghz which in reality will be running at 3.999ghz at 1.28750 volts. Unlike Intel, Threadripper is very difficult to overclock because of the heat. From what I have read, the only way to push the processor past 4ghz is to have custom water cooling which I am not going to do. People have reported being able to get 4.1ghz out of the 1950X with custom water cooling with low temps. The AIO water coolers including the Enermax don't seem to perform better than the Thermalright air cooler. When I built my PC, I started with the Enermax Liqtech TR4 360. I had to RMA this cooler twice because of problems with leaking and pump failures. Apparently, most people using the Enermax cooler have reported similar issues.
What do you use your system for primarily?
