Overclocking
We swapped out the Cooler Master Threadripper heatsink for a Thermaltake Riing 360 AIO for overclocking. Hold on to your hats.
There are two methods of overclocking. The way in which Precision Boost Overdrive works, automatically adapting to the environment, enables you to push the speeds up by adjusting key performance-inhibiting parameters within Ryzen Master utility. In effect, by removing the shackles imposed at stock speeds - socket power, CPU power, etc. - PB2 keeps scaling the CPU up. The second way is manual, where you choose a voltage and go as high as you can on all cores.
Keeping methodology consistent, we went with the latter and managed to hit 4.075GHz at 1.35V across all 32 cores.
Going this way does reduce the potential of light-load tests, of course, yet the all-core results are impressive.
It's worth knowing that some serious, heavy-duty cooling is required for overclocking. The system pulled a whopping 525W under load and temperatures spiked to just under 90°C after two minutes.
