ASUS ROG Strix X470-I Gaming review - Overclocking The Ryzen 7 2700X processor

Overclocking a Ryzen 7 2700X  processor

On this page, I want to disclose what you can do in order to achieve an all-core overclock.
 

You guys know it when you're gonna tweak, always invest in good hardware. And that includes a proper MOBO/PSU/Memory and cooling), the cheaper motherboards often are not well tuned for enthusiast overclocking with fewer power phases. Please. never underestimate a good power supply and sure, proper processor cooling. Overclocking with a more core processor (doesn't matter if that is Intel or AMD) is more difficult than you expect it to be. You could apply a fixed voltage.

What you need to do:

  1. Enable and start at 4200 MHz (42 Multiplier)
  2. Apply 1.40V to the CPU (or simply leave it at auto).
  3. Enable XMP on our memory kit (3200 MHz CL14)

Ryzen likes fast memory, so with this dual-channel (single rank) setup we really can recommend higher frequency memory like the 3200 MHz kits used. G.Skill will also release a Ryzen optimized 3400 MHz kit, only you can decide whether or not that is worth the extra dough though.

  

 

We expect most Ryzen Series 2000 CPUs to be able to hit 4.2 up-to 4.3 GHz with at least proper cooling. I expect most processors to hit 4.3 GHz stable on liquid cooling, and some parts can reach 4.4 GHz. It's a bit of a luck of a draw really.

Still, we had a chance to check the first Thor at the end of 2018, when the 1200W version was reviewed (priced 329 EUR/USD), earning the “Best Hardware” award. Will the new version be as successful?
