GIGABYTE X399 Guide to Overclocking
AMD Ryzen Threadripper-Series Processors
Chapter 1: Intro
Ryzen Threadripper marks the return of AMD
We all fondly remember the glory days of AMD Athlon CPUs and their amazing 3000+
Venice CPUs. They were cool, efficient and were good overclockers. I got my first bug for
binning CPUs in those days and really enjoyed trying to cool these and Opteron CPUs
subzero in months and years to come. However, a dark period ensued and AMD fans had
no choice but to lay dormant and wait for the return of the king and the king is back and
his name is Ryzen Threaripper, all hail king Ryzen Threadripper :D!
AMD Ryzen Threadripper is built on the TR4 socket, it brings large IPC improvements,
multi-threading and DDR4 support as well as increased energy efficiency—all at a
competitive price. Did we mention this processor is the first ever consumer processor to
offer 16 cores and 32 threads?! We've decided to create an OC guide so read on to learn
how to get even more value out of your AMD Ryzen Threaripper processor.
