Here is my setup, i tried my best documenting this, im not sure if i did something insane so please lmk
Getting to the point, i wanted to turn this 1950x into a cinebench monster, i had lots of thermal roon i guess but silicon limits to apply, otherwise i think this had much more potential, long story short, i had an enermax 360 aio. The second revision. Which was notorious for cpu block clogging, now once that happened, i was one day looking at temps and the difference between 1 ccd and the other was 19 degrees, so i knew something was 100% not right, i confirmed it was a cpu block clog, since he conincidentally had a enermax 240 version cooling his 1900X, and it went kaput basically. So i almost scrapped and sold this entire setup, crazier story i got the x399 designare NEVER used since production for $1xx CAD, and i confirmed it because the set date was 2017, when it came out, maybe it was used once but highly unlikely since ALL the accesskries were BRAND NEW, back to the oc story, after the aio died essentially, i was looking for budget friendly options since i had funds focused elsewhere, i stumbled upon a guy on marketplace selling this chonky wraith ripper, i snagged it for less than $120 CAD, i install everything, i used kryonaut extreme because i did put to account threadrippers run hot, HOWEVER, this cooler is a goat, i HIGHLY recommend this cooler for any TR4 user, it is so fucking good, now the gpu may have to move down a slot, but in my case i have 2x pcie 16x slots, so i just moved it to the second one, short story, the xtx i got on marketplace, the previous owner never disclosed he did an LM mod on it, and it was always running so cool and i questioned why, until i found out lol, now i tried using ChatGPT plus for a conservative 3.7 Ghz all core profile, but i was like.. Nah.. let me experiment with it, and so i did, and i had the aim to hit 20k on AIR cooling, this setup is legit and i think i can get a video of it sometime. Those interested for a video pm me lol, NOW, the fun stuff. Since the desginare bios from what i know HIDES ppt edc and tdc controls, so its like shot in the dark, there are VERY specific settings to turn off so it doesnt hit an EDC wall, and make sure if you try replicating this, you use 2 CPU 8 PINS or an 8+4 Cpu power, as i made this cpu draw nearly 2x its tdp, so thats a non negotiable, especially with keeping vrms healthy. I tried 3.95 Ghz, and i scored 19k something, its in the pictures lol i forgot already *short memory effect*, i tried 4.1 ghz and broke the 20k barrier on AIR cooling, emphasis on air cooling cause i find it insane myself. Now i had 3 fans above the cpu cooler at full speed. And the cpu fan is rated for 2750 RPM but even at that speed it isnt loud at all, rgbs are really nice too, getting back to my point, 20k was broken at 4.05 Ghz at i think 1.37V? Then went for 4.075, then 4.08, i believe 4.08 gave the highest score at 20285 pts. I still find it impressive. HOWEVER i will give a disclaimer. Running 4.08 at borderline voltage is NOT recommended, it accelerates cpu degradation, i would say the maximum to run DAILY is 3.97 Ghz and i think 1.35V, and if your doing this and you dont have kryonaut extreme, mx-6 will do just fine, just maybe 10-20% hotter imo, Ram was running a 3200 mhz in CHANNEL memory interleaving. I guess thats all i have to say.. if any tech youtuber sees this please shout me out. Much appreciated,
